I found that current dos2unix will produce an intermediate file and stop when it encounters a directory in the arguments. And it cant process folders recursively. Hence, I wrote these scripts to help me to convert all text files in a list of files and folders into DOS or UNIX format.
Explore directories and files recursively.
explore()
{
local file=""
ls -1 | while read -r file
do
# Recursively explore if we found a directory.
if [ -d "$file" ] ; then
echo "Entering $file"
pushd "$file" > /dev/null
explore
echo "Leaving $file"
popd > /dev/null
# Process it if we found a text file.
elif [ "`${FILE} ${file} | ${GREP} text`" != "" ] ; then
# echo "Processing: $file"
$DOS2UNIX "${file}"
fi
done
} # end of explore()Process each of the files and folders given in the command line.
for file in $@ ; do
# FIXME: I should have put these into a subroutine to reduce code duplications in explore().
# However, I'm not familiar with subroutines in BASH yet.
if [ -d "$file" ] ; then
echo "Entering $file"
pushd "$file" > /dev/null
explore
echo "Leaving $file"
popd
elif [ "`${FILE} ${file} | ${GREP} text`" != "" ] ; then
$DOS2UNIX "$file"
fi
doneFor the entire file, see xman_dos2unix in xman utility (latest) under GPL.
