Finding and using (only) ASCII files.
Hi, I had to do something I could do in a way that worked fine, but I'm still wondering if there's a shorter way (which I think there is)... I had to find only the ASCII files of a directory, and then work with them (that is, not only showing on screen) What I did was Code:
ls | xargs file | grep "ASCII" | cut -d ":" -f 1 | xargs something...... That worked pretty well, but I think it's kinda long for such an supposed-to-be-easy task. So, could you help me finding another way to find only the ASCII files of a directory? If possible, not using sed or awk, since I still don't know these commands at all. Thanks a lot in advance, Casey. |
