Rep:
for f in *.mp4,*.mov,*.ogv ?? how can you use multiple filetypes? shell script
in code such as
Code:
for f in *.mp4;do
# perform operations on f here
echo $f
done
is it possible to specify multiple filetypes?
i have used *.m* for multiple movie types on my mac, .mov,m4v,mp4 but it doesn't cover ogv.
i'd like to get ogv and mp4 both on my linux box. is there syntax for this?
for f in *.mp4;do
# perform operations on f here
echo $f
done
