Sorry, for some reason, the text in the post didn't come out. I'll try again:
I want to find all of the files of type .vtk in a directory and its subdirectories and then do some operation on them. I don't want to list the files only.
Here's what I have now:
Code:
ls *.vtk |\ #gets files
while read file ; do #reads files
#does stuff
done
The above works on the files in the directory only.
I've tried:
Code:
ls -R *.vtk |\
but this doesn't work to get the files from the subdirectories.
Should I use some variant of:
Code:
find $HOME/directory_with_subs -name “*.vtk”
to operate on the files in both the directory and its subdirectories?
Thanks,

MU-BOOKMARKS(5) File Formats Manual MU-BOOKMARKS(5)NAME
bookmarks - file with bookmarks (shortcuts) for mu search expressions
DESCRIPTION
Bookmarks are named shortcuts for search queries. They allow using a convenient name for often-used queries. The bookmarks are are also
visible as shortcuts in the mu experimental user interfaces, mug and mug2.
mu supports bookmarks stored in a file called bookmarks in the mu home directory (typically, this would be ~/.mu/bookmarks).
The bookmarks file is a typical key=value .ini-file, which is best shown by means of an example:
[mu]
inbox=maildir:/inbox # inbox
oldhat=maildir:/archive subject:hat # archived with subject containing 'hat'
The [mu] group header is required.
For practical uses of bookmarks, see mu-find(1).
LOCATION
The bookmarks file is read from <muhome>/bookmarks. Typically, this would be ~/.mu/bookmarks, but this can be influenced using the --muhome
parameter for mu-find(1) and mug(1).
