General :: Web Searches Cannot Locate Way Of Specifying 'each File In Current Directory'
Mar 23, 2011I have several directories of subtitles for some videos, but all the text for the subtitles in each file is in uppercase, and I would like to convert the files' content to lowercase, all in one go. I found on a website a bash command that would do each file separately:tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' <input.txt> output.txt but of course involves specifying the input name and output name for each file.I have been trying to do it in a script that would work for all files in the current directory, without having to rename them each time, if that's possible. So far I've got the following, which doesn't work:
#!/bin/bash
for file in $@; do
tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
done
However, my web searches cannot locate a way of specifying "each file in current directory" in conjunction with the "tr" command, but also without having to rename the file once converted to lowercase. Is it possible, or would the tr command have to create a new file for each converted file?

General :: Create A File In The Current Directory Named '5' With The Number '2'?
Aug 24, 2010Code:
$ echo 2 * 3 > 5 is a valid inequality. This will create a file in the current directory named '5' with the number '2' in it, the names of all the files in the current directory, followed by the number '3' and 'is a valid inequality.'
What I do not understand is why 'is a valid inequality' gets written to this file. I thought it would write '2', all the file names in the current directory, then '3' into the file called '5'. Why does the 'is a valid inequality.' get written to the file also?

General :: How Is The "Current Working Directory Maintined"
May 25, 2010I was wondering how the current working directory is maintained in linux. I assumed it would simply be an environment variable, but all attempts i've made to change directory by resetting variables shown by env have failed.Is this something that is maintained internally in the command prompt (bash in my case)?The background to this is I'm setting up a script to remotely run commands over ssh. Since separate commands will unfortunately require separate SSH connections, I need to maintain (save and reload) items such as environment variables and current working directory from one call of the script to the next.

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Push Command To The Background In A Cron Script?
Feb 3, 2011I'm writing a script that performs backups from partitions on remote servers. I used to do this with ssh, but that seems to be somewhat slow, so I switched to netcat.I start a listener on the receiving server (which runs the script) like this:netcat -l -p 7000 | dd of=imagefile &and then I make the remote and start a dd piped to netcat. This works quite well started manually and the listener is waiting in the background. However, when I have cron run the same script to automate it, the netcat listener is not started, probably because the "&" thing does not work (or there is something with the piping that behaves differently then)

Is there a way to have options in .vimrc that depend on the current working directory, so I don't have to switch back and forth manually?
