Something along this line should suffice.. #!/bin/sh for file in $HOME/*; do echo $file; done
'man for' should take you there. --SH -----Original Message----- From: Lloyd Bayley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 13 August 2002 11:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Looping Through File Lists Hi again People! This time, it's another basic question I'm afraid.... I've had a crack at it but I feel I'm in the wrong territory trying to use 'for'...:) I'm trying to basically run a command on every file in the current directory. Some pseudocode... ---- for everyfileincurrentdir do convertfile (filename) done ---- I just want to run the command once on/for every file in the directory....As I said, the 'for' - type loop is starting to look like the wrong place to be. Sorry about the basic question again, I'm getting there! :) Cheers, Lloyd. :-) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
