That's what xargs is for:
Code:
% touch file{01..15}
% printf '%s\n' *  | xargs -n6 echo 6 at most:
6 at most: file01 file02 file03 file04 file05 file06
6 at most: file07 file08 file09 file10 file11 file12
6 at most: file13 file14 file15

Assuming no pathological characters in the filenames.

NAME
Locale::Msgfmt - Compile .po files to .mo files SYNOPSIS
This module does the same thing as msgfmt from GNU gettext-tools, except this is pure Perl. The interface is best explained through examples: use Locale::Msgfmt; # Compile po/fr.po into po/fr.mo msgfmt({in => "po/fr.po", out => "po/fr.mo"}); # Compile po/fr.po into po/fr.mo and include fuzzy translations msgfmt({in => "po/fr.po", out => "po/fr.mo", fuzzy => 1}); # Compile all the .po files in the po directory, and write the .mo # files to the po directory msgfmt("po/"); # Compile all the .po files in the po directory, and write the .mo # files to the po directory, and include fuzzy translations msgfmt({in => "po/", fuzzy => 1}); # Compile all the .po files in the po directory, and write the .mo # files to the output directory, creating the output directory if # it doesn't already exist msgfmt({in => "po/", out => "output/"}); # Compile all the .po files in the po directory, and write the .mo # files to the output directory, and include fuzzy translations msgfmt({in => "po/", out => "output/", fuzzy => 1}); # Compile po/fr.po into po/fr.mo msgfmt("po/fr.po"); # Compile po/fr.po into po/fr.mo and include fuzzy translations msgfmt({in => "po/fr.po", fuzzy => 1}); COPYRIGHT &; LICENSE Copyright 2009 Ryan Niebur, all rights reserved.
