Insert filename

Insert filename

Hi all, I am trying to export markdown formatted text files and I insert the Filename as the header of each file. Here is the code I am using to do the export, how do I insert the filename?

pandoc test.txt -f markdown -t rtf -s -o test1.rtf

There's no built-in way to do this.  You can create a custom
template with a $filename$ variable, then set this variable
on the command line with

    -V filename=test.txt

Hi, i have found the following perl script that party does what i want, 
(insert the filename in each text file), but it fails if there are spaces 
in the filename. Any ideas on how to amend?

perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/^/$ARGV\n/' `find . -name '*.txt'`

Try:

find . -name '*.txt' -exec perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/^/$ARGV\n/' 
{} \;

This is really a combo shell/perl script.  It could probably be done in 
just Perl as well, but this was easy enough.  ;)

Beware of perl's -i option without a backup lest you end up with 
junk, i.e. make it -i.bak
It is easy enough to do rm *.bak once you are sure you did not get 
any junk.

Thanks Daniel, how would i amend that to add a blank line below the 
inserted header?
