Subject: SImple way to execute command on list of files?
Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2019 09:46:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190414084632.t4gdc2fjswogznxy@gmx.de> (raw)
Other than writing an alias or a function, is there a simple way
to call commands that take only one file argument multiple times?
In other words
$ xpdf *.pdf
$ ps2pdf a.ps b.ps c.ps
should be executed (semantically) as
$ for F in *.pdf; do xpdf "$F"; done
$ ps2pdf a.ps; ps2pdf b.ps; ps2pdf c.ps
I'm looking for a kind of extension for the command syntax. Of
course I could write a function with that syntax for each command,
but is there a more general way where you can define a list of
commands to treat differently, say
annoying_commands xpdf ps2pdf gv
Ciao
Dominik ^_^ ^_^
