I strongly suggest reading my post before blindly running my code, since running my code on .m files may destroy them. Never overwrite your originals; that's a recipe for disaster. One mistake and all your code is blown away. Rename your .m files into .pm. Use it to generate .m files from .pm's.

I'd suggest renaming your '.m' files into '.pm' files instead. Create '.m' files out of your '.pm' files when you process them.
Code:
find . -iname '*.pm' | xargs awk -f ocstr.awk | sort -u > list
