It has been awhile
since I have been programming in
bash or using the
'find' command and what I am trying
to do is to figure
out how to run a command to decode
all my .mpc files
into wav as follows:
1. Find all MPC
files
2. Run each file
through mppdec
I tried to do
this using the 'find' command or even with a
bash
script.
Using
find:
========
find *.mpc -type f
-exec mppdec '{}' `echo {} | sed s/.mpc/.wav` \;
** fails because you
cannot use {} more than once and also exec is mangled.
I recalled using
xargs from my past, but cannot remember how to do it.
find *.mpc -type f
-print0 | xargs ?????
Since I
had used find/xargs in the past, I have not encountered cases
where
filenames can have
spaces or other characters embedded, so this is
new
for me. I was
not able to get around this issue with find nor with bash
scripts.
Using
bash:
=========
#!/bin/bash
for i in
$*
do
F=`echo $i |
sed s/.mpc//`
mppdec
$F+".mpc" $F+".wav"
done
Any
ideas?
Thanks-
Dan
