I know how to change file format from dos to unix by use dos2unix, but how can I change ALL the files will under a directory tree. Can dos2unix change files recursively?
for example, I have some files like following:
TOPDIR
|
+-----dir1
| |
| +---file1,file2, file3
|
+-----dir2
|
+---file4,file5
How can I change them in one time, or use some shell scripts?
better to do find /path -type -f -exec dos2unix '{}' \;
find /path -name '*' -type f -exec dos2unix {} \;
dos2unix -k `find . -type f`
find . -type f -exec dos2unix -k '{}' \;
find . -type f -print | xargs dos2unix -k
Any of above command can be used from TOPDIR

I need to get all the texts in the matching file in the folder. However, at the same time need to get the matching file path as well. How can I get the matching file path as well using the following command.
find . -type f -name release.txt | xargs cat
try
find . -type f -name release.txt -exec grep -il {} \; | xargs cat
Skip xargs, just do:
find . -type f -name release.txt -exec sh -c 'echo "$1"; cat "$1"' _ {} \;
In order to find all logs files with a pattern from all subdirectories I used the command :
du -csh *log.2017*
But this command does not search in subdirectories. Is there any way to get the total size of all files with a pattern from all subdirectories?
This will do the trick:
find . -name *log.2017* | xargs du -csh
find . -name *log.2017* -type f -exec stat -c "%s" {} \; | paste -sd+ | bc
you can use find command
find /path -type f -name "*log.2017*" -exec stat -c "%s" {} \; | bc
It will do the search recursively.
I try this:
find . -exec iconv -f iso8859-2 -t utf-8 {} \;
but output goes to the screen, not to the same file. How to do it?
Try this:
find . -type f -print -exec iconv -f iso8859-2 -t utf-8 -o {}.converted {} \; -exec mv {}.converted {} \;
It will use temp file with '.converted' suffix (extension) and then will move it to original name, so be careful if you have files with '.converted' suffixes (I don't think you have).
Also this script is not safe for filenames containing spaces, so for more safety you should double-quote: "{}" instead of {} and "{}.converted" instead of {}.converted
read about enconv.
If you need to convert to your current terminal encoding you can do it like that:
find . -exec enconv -L czech {}\;
Or exactly what you wanted:
find . -exec enconv -L czech -x utf8 {}\;
I found this method worked well for me, especially where I had multiple file encodings and multiple file extensions.
Create a vim script called script.vim:
set bomb
set fileencoding=utf-8
wq
Then run the script on the file extensions you wish to target:
find . -type f \( -iname "*.html" -o -iname "*.htm" -o -iname "*.php" -o -iname "*.css" -o -iname "*.less" -o -iname "*.js" \) -exec vim -S script.vim {} \;
No one proposed a way to automatically detect encoding and recode.
Here is an example to recode to UTF-8 all HTM/HTML files from master branch of a GIT.
git ls-tree master -r --name-only | grep htm | xargs -n1 -I{} bash -c 'recode "$(file -b --mime-encoding {})..utf-8" {}'
How can I replace "abc" with "abcd" on all files of a folder using shell?
Is it possible using sed command?
Try the following command for the file file.txt:
sed -i 's/abc/abcd/g' file.txt
Try the following command for all files in the current folder:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec sed -i 's/abc/abcd/g' {} \;
For the files in the current directory and all subdirectories:
find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/abc/abcd/g' {} \;
Or if you are fan of xargs:
find . -type f | xargs -I {} sed -i 's/abc/abcd/g' {}
sed -i 's/abc/&d/g' *
should work.
Yes:
find /the/folder -type f -exec sed -i 's,\<abc\>,&d,g' {} \;
find ./dir -type f -iname "*.t[argz]*[bz2]" -print | xargs mv --target-directory=dir
seems to fail on file that has spaces in the name.
how to improve it? or alternative?
thanks for answer below: my mv doesn't support --null or -0, I'm using cygwin:
$ mv --help
Usage: mv [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
or: mv [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
or: mv [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
Rename SOURCE to DEST, or move SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.
Mandatory arguments t
.
Use -print0 instead of -print on the find command, and the xargs -0 (or --null) option - then NULs will be used as separators rather than newlines and spaces.
find ./dir -type f -iname "*.t[argz]*[bz2]" -print0 | xargs --null mv --target-directory=dir
Have you looked at the -exec option for find?
find ./dir -type f -iname "*.t[argz][bz2]" -exec mv {} --target-directory=dir ';'
The -exec option will execute any options following it as a command until it sees the semi-colon wrapped in quotes. This way you won't have to deal with the spacing issue.
GNU find
find ./dir -type f -iname "*.t[argz]*[bz2]" -exec mv "{}" /destination +;
