I would like to go through all files and subdirectories of a directory and

find directory | while read f

Well, I tried this script but it didn't work. I put the above code into a
file, hard coded /root/test for directory to point to a directory called
test under root that had 4 files under it, and tried executing the script to
see if it copied over the permissions. I got the following error when I
tried to run it --
': not a valid identifier line 1: read : `f
This error message is probably caused by wrong (i.e., non-Unix) line
ends. Can you check that each line is only terminated by LF (\n,
0x0a) and does not have DOS style (CR-LR, \r\n, 0x0d0a).
E.g., type
head -1 your_script | od -t x1
and see if there is "0d 0a" at the end, or only "0a". The former is
wrong and the latter right.
If it's just "0a", we need to check further what your problem might
be, you need to post your script then and describe exactly how you
call it.
I assume this problem cause because the "'" at the beginning of the
error message line should actually be at the end of the error
message; so there must be something that moves it to the start, and
a CR is the most likely candidate. That may happen when you
copy&paste from some mail client.
Btw, if you write a script for these commands, remember that the 1st
line should be #!/bin/sh .
