Thanks Sandip,
> find dir/ -exec dos2unix {} \;
I tried this but the code would not respond. Maybe
dos2unix not getting arguments. Is it ?
So, heres final alias I made.
for fileName in `find $1 -follow -type f`; do echo
"Processing $fileName; cat $fileName | tr -d '\015' >
$fileName done;
Will do everything I need !!
a) Can be aliased.
b) Recursive.
c) Checks only files (not directories)
d) No temp files.
Additionally
e) follows links.
f) Uses no dos2unix program.
One questions though : How does input is passed from
one side of the pipe to the other if the commands are
executing in two different shells ?
Cheers,
Amol.
