Re: File Processing: Please Advise
With the example echo script only returns: (Despite the fact that there are
many .jpgs)
$find . -name '*.jpg' | xargs ./Suggestion.sh
./test1.jpg
$
Is this how it is meant to work?
I was reading the man page for xargs but didnt understand most of it: I get the
impression that xargs should do:
./Suggestion.sh <find result1>
./Suggestion.sh <find result2>
etc etc?
.... Thats what it would probably have to do since image magick's convert seems
to refuse to convert multiple files on one command line.
Further Ideas?
Thanks a Mil!
