shell script? 1

[Giblets]

Hello,

Can anyone help me to understand what this shell script does?

#!/bin/sh

file=`find . -name \*.uuencode - print`

for f in $files
do

uudecode $f

done



Thanks...

It looks like it searches a directory tree for files the names of which end in ".uuencode". It then performs uudecode against each file found.

The script won't work (as posted) because the for loop is using $files instead of $file
