Converting multiple files with dos2unix utility on solaris 9

[jcpelejo]

Is there a way of converting multiple files at the same time so that you do not have to type the command "dos2unix <oldfilename> <newfilename>" one file at a time?

Life is too short to waste...

Perhaps put your filename pairs in a file and feed them to dos2unix? I guess that wouldn't save you too mich time though!

I want to be good, is that not enough?

A shell script should do it.

Here is one written in "bash", all your files ends with .txt and all new files i created in a directory named "converted".

#!/bin/bash
mkdir converted
for i in *.txt; do
dos2unix $i converted/$i
done

Should be easy to convertet this script to other "script languages".
