[COLUG] gawk question

[Nathan Overley]

I am the Network Administrator for a school system and I am in the process of 
cleaning up my students home directories. I would like to be able to delete 
all files and folders from their directories except for a folder called 
"career". Each student has this folder. Is there a way by using gawk, grep, 
etc. to do this?

Say the directory structure looks like so:
User1-|
      |-career
      |-dir1
      |-dir2
      |-file1
      |-file2
User2-|
      |-career
      |-dir1
      |-dir2
      |-file1
      |-file2

So far I have a script that looks like this.
ls -l |gawk '{print $9}'

I would like to be able to cd into this directory and run the following 
command:
ls -l |gawk '{print $9}' |grep -iv career

Then would it be possible to take those results and remove the directories?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks,
Nathan
