Redirection Question 1

find ./ -name *.htm | perl fix.pl

I have the above command where I want to change a fiew characters in all of the html files in a directory tree. How do I get the output from find to redirect into my perl program? I know this can be done, I've done it before but I can't remember how.

That command already does redirect the output of [tt]find[/tt] into the Perl script.

Though it isn't what you described, are you perhaps looking for [tt]xargs[/tt]? That will call the Perl script using the filenames output by [tt]find[/tt] as command line arguments.

Thank you. xargs did it. That was the command that I could not remember.

find ./ -name *.htm | xargs -i perl fix.pl '{}'
