Recursively go thorough subdirectories and checkout files
Hi,

I would need to go through all the subdirectories, find each file and would need to check them out(using clearcase, which I know).

But could you please help me how to find all the files under all subdirectories.. there could be multiple directories and subdirs...

you can use the find to find all the files
> find . -name "*.*" -type f

suppose if you want to execute something on the file, for example if you want to find the no of lines in all the files, you can use the below.

> find . -name "*.*" -type f -exec wc -l {} \;

instead of "wc -l" you can give any commands.
