You don't need a script...try something as follows to list files

Code:

find . -type f -exec ls -l {} \;

To delete only files (be careful command will delete all files from current directory):

Code:

find . -type f -exec /bin/rm -f {} \;

You can also specify path

Code:

find /path/to/delete -type f -exec /bin/rm -f {} \;
