I was thinking that I could just do this:
find /folder -name main.css | more /newcss >> $1
but, it appears that when the find command returns, $1 isn't going to cut
it...
can anyone help me out on this?
thanks,
fnord

..or..
find /folder -name main.css | while read file
do
cat /newcss >> $file
done

another opportunity for "foreach"
function list_of { find /folder -name $1; }
function main_list { list_of main.css'; }
function append_to { cat newcss >> $1; }
foreach append_to $(main_list)
1. unzip a bunch of files to screen and append text to EACH line????
Hi,
Following is my problem:
I have a large number of zip files in a directory with A LOT of
(text)data in them (each zip only has one text file). I would like to
unzip them, look at each file and append the name of the zip file to
the beginning of each line in the content. In other words:
unzip <large number of *.zip>
--this produces a large number of *.dat or *.DAT files
append the text 'XYZ.zip' to each line in XYZ.dat (repeat this for all
*.zip and their related *.dat file).
Essentially I am eventually going to concat all the *.dat files, but
would like to know which *.zip each line belongs to.
I've tried various combinations of 'for name in *.zip ....', 'find .
*.zip -exec ...', ' ...|xargs ...', etc., etc. but nothing seems to
work. I would REALLY like to avoid writing a perl script. Any ideas?
Thanks.
