No. This is because the shell creates a different parallel process for every command in the pipes of the command-line. Since they have all been spawned from the shell at the same time, a variable in environment of one of the process is not available in a parallel process.

Thanks Sandip,
find dir/ -exec dos2unix {} \;
I tried this but the code would not respond. Maybe
dos2unix not getting arguments. Is it ?
Try :
find /usr/local -type f -exec wc -c {} \;
Should give you the file sizes of all files under /usr/local, after
recursion. Works on my system. IF this works, try replacing wc -c
with dos2unix, assuming you do have dos2unix in your system.
You can use the command perl -n -i -p -e 's/\r//' instead of
dos2unix. You do have perl on your system, don't you? ;) Also this
would be faster on your system
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 ?
Bash changes the standard input/output of each of the child processes
according to the pipe order. Check out APUE for more info/examples of
the same.

[ilugd]: Remove '\015' from all files in dir.
People,
1) cat dosFile | tr -d '\015' unixFile removes
'\015' from dosfile and put it in the unix file, can
anybody suggest me a similar way to do that on the
folder. No temp files please, I am gonna have some
really big folders.
2) And why does not variable exported in the same
command be available on the other side of pipe ? Like
in :
find ./myDir | export fileInUse=`awk '{printf(%s,
$0)}' | cat $fileInUse | tr -d '\015' $fileInUse
...should recurse through each entry in the ./myDir
and remove '\015' from each of $fileInUse. No export
possible here. I am trying it on bash. I am thinking
of having a alias like removeControlMFromFolder
folderName. Any clues ? Anybody ?
Cheers,
Amol.
