Bash script to process every file in current dir and sub dirs
 
Hi, does anyone know of a script that will do 'function, or whatever I want', to every file in the current dir and sub dirs. This is because I am writing a script which rearranges my music library depending on the IDv3 tags of my MP3 files, I just need a script that repeates and gives the filename of every file in the current dir and sub dirs, so that I can read the IDv3 tags of each file to process them

Any info would be great, Buck

The basic command for that is:
Code:
find ./ -type f -exec function '{}' \;
where {} gets replaced with each found file in turn.

or surely just a clever usage of "*", no?
like:

Code:
function *
will perform the function for everything in the folder you're in...

This may be bad practice though

Download and install the graphical tool:
"EasyTAG"
It is amazing at doing batch jobs... it sorted out
all of my music!
