I can remove blank lines at end of file using following code
for files in `ls * 2>/dev/null`
do
sed -e :a -e '/^\n*$/N;/\n$/ba' $files > newfile
mv newfile $files
done
How can I change above code, so that it recursively executes that code for all files under a directory? (6 Replies)

NAME
list - list routines
SYNOPSIS
#include <inn/list.h>
struct node {
struct node *succ;
struct node *pred; };
struct list {
struct node *head;
struct node *tail;
struct node *tailpred; };
void list_new(struct list *list);
struct node *list_addhead(struct list *list, struct node *node);
struct node *list_addtail(struct list *list, struct node *node);
struct node *list_head(struct list *list);
struct node *list_tail(struct list *list);
struct node *list_succ(struct node *node);
struct node *list_pred(struct node *node);
struct node *list_remhead(struct list *list);
struct node *list_remtail(struct list *list);
struct node *list_remove(struct node *node);
struct node *list_insert(struct list *list, struct node *node, struct node *pred);
bool list_isempty(struct list *list);
DESCRIPTION
list_new initialises the list header list so as to create an empty list.
list_addhead adds node to the head of list, returning the node just added.
list_addtail adds node to the tail of list, returning the node just added.
list_head returns a pointer to the the node at the head of list or NULL if the list is empty.
list_tail returns a pointer to the the node at the tail of list or NULL if the list is empty.
list_succ returns the next (successor) node on the list after node or NULL if node was the final node.
list_pred returns the previous (predecessor) node on the list before node or NULL if node was the first node.
list_remhead removes the first node from list and returns it to the caller. If the list is empty NULL is returned.
list_remtail removes the last node from list and returns it to the caller. If the list is empty NULL is returned.
list_remove removes node from the list it is on and returns it to the caller.
list_insert inserts node onto list after the node pred. If pred is NULL then node is added to the head of list.
