Hi people, I want to change all the RTF files on my computer into TXT ones. I tried the following: for FILE in `locate *.rtf` do { unrtf --nopics --text '$FILE' >'$FILE.txt' rm -f $FILE } done But I have a problem, unrtf says there's an error opening the file, but it won't give me a name, so I don't know if my variable is getting asigned properly, I just know that for every file, I get a "Can't open file" error. Any ideas? Cheers. PS: I would also like to avoid (if at all possible) the crap that unrtf puts into the resulting text file, is this possible?
