substitute: echo or ex ?
Hi,

In an effort to collect all my .java-files and place them in a LaTeXfile (using the listings environment of latex), i tried to use ex.
So what i have now is:

Code:
find . -name "*\.java" > latex
ex latex <<HERE
%s/\(.*\)/\\lstinputlisting{\1}
wq
HERE

So i try to escape the '\' with another '\' but this doesn't work. So someone suggested me to use echo, which would be alot easier.

So i tried:

Code:
echo \lstinputlisting{$(find . -name "*/.java")}

But this wraps the 'lstinputlisting' around all the results together and not around each result individually.

Anyone has a suggestion ? I'd prefer to use echo, but i can't find how to use it properly to get the right outcome. So just need an echo command to wrap \lstinputlisting{} around every search result.

latexdiff-vc

LATEXDIFF-VC(1) 					User Contributed Perl Documentation					   LATEXDIFF-VC(1)

NAME

       latexdiff-vc - wrapper script that calls latexdiff for different versions of a file under version management (CVS, RCS or SVN)

SYNOPSIS

       latexdiff-vc [ latexdiff-options ] [ latexdiff-vc-options ]  -r [rev1] [-r rev2]  file1.tex [ file2.tex ...]

	or

       latexdiff-vc [ latexdiff-options ]  [ latexdiff-vc-options ][ --postscript | --pdf ]  old.tex new.tex

DESCRIPTION

       latexdiff-vc is a wrapper script that applies latexdiff to a file, or multiple files under version control (CVS or RCS), and optionally
       runs the sequence of "latex" and "dvips" or "pdflatex" commands necessary to produce pdf or postscript output of the difference tex
       file(s). It can also be applied to a pair of files to automatise the generation of difference file in postscript or pdf format.

OPTIONS

       --rcs, --svn, or --cvs
	   Set the version system.  If no version system is specified, latexdiff-vc will venture a guess.

	   latexdiff-cvs and latexdiff-rcs are variants of latexdiff-vc which default to the respective versioning system. However, this default
	   can still be overridden using the options above.

       -r, -r rev or --revision, --revision=rev
	   Choose revision (under RCS, CVS or SVN). One or two -r options can be specified, and the resulting in different behaviour:

	   latexdiff-vc -r file.tex ...
	       compares file.tex with the most recent version checked into RCS.

	   latexdiff-vc -r rev1 file.tex ...
	       compares file.tex with revision rev1.

	   latexdiff-vc -r rev1 -r rev2 file.tex ...
	       compares revisions rev1 and rev2 of file.tex.

	       Multiple files can be specified for all of the above options. All files must have the extension ".tex", though.

	   latexdiff-vc  old.tex new.tex
	       compares two files.

	   The name of the difference file is generated automatically and reported to stdout.

       -d or --dir  -d path or --dir=path
	   Rather than appending the string "diff" and optionally the version numbers given to the output-file, this will prepend a directory name
	   "diff" to the original filename, creating the directory and subdirectories should they not exist already.  This is particularly useful
	   in order to clone a complete directory hierarchy.  Optionally, a pathname path can be specified, which is prepended instead of "diff".

       --ps or --postscript
	   Generate postscript output from difference file.  This will run the sequence "latex; latex; dvips" on the difference file (do not use
	   this option in the rare cases, where three "latex" commands are required if you care about correct referencing).  If the difference
	   file contains a "ibliography" tag, run the sequence "latex; bibtex; latex; latex; dvips".

       --pdf
	   Generate pdf output from difference file using "pdflatex". This will run the sequence "pdflatex; pdflatex" on the difference file, or
	   "pdflatex; bibtex; pdflatex; pdflatex" for files requiring bibtex.

       --force
	   Overwrite existing diff files without asking for confirmation. Default behaviour is to ask for confirmation before overwriting an
	   existing difference file.

       --help or -h
	   Show help text

       --version
	   Show version number

       All other options are passed on to "latexdiff".

PORTABILITY

       latexdiff-vc uses external commands and is therefore limited to Unix-like systems. It also requires the RCS version control system and
       latex to be installed on the system.  Modules from Perl 5.8 or higher are required.
