Subject: running a command multiple times on a glob pattern
Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 11:23:17 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <999739397.219670.15579.nullmailer@bozar.algorithm.com.au> (raw)
hello,
i'm thinking that it'd be really handy to have some sort of
shell construct that looks like
tar zxvf {{*.tar.gz}}
which basically expands to
for i in *.tar.gz; do tar zxvf $i; done
(ignore the silly syntax i'm using, of course). is this
possible at all? i think it's used frequently enough that it
might be worthwhile to implement.
