Search in Scripts
Hi

I'd like to search content of my apple scripts and list the results. What I have is:

Code:
find /Scripts -name "*.scpt" -exec osadecompile '{}'  \; | xargs -0  grep -l "POSIX"

With that instruction I get no result. What's wrong?

Any tip or hint is welcome.

Regards

Lazy

Without any knowledge what the output of osadecompile could possibly be, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. But, it would need to separate its output lines with the NULL character for the xargs -0 option; find's -print0 action won't do.

Alternatively, try:
Code:
find . -name "*.scpt" |
while read file
do
  osadecompile "$file" | grep -q POSIX && echo "$file" 
done

--
or:
Code:
find . -name "*.scpt" -exec bash -c "osadecompile '{}' | grep -q POSIX && echo '{}'" \;

--
The problem in post #1 is that the file name gets lost (or rather becomes "stdin" to grep) when using the pipe and xargs -0 makes no sense since there is no null-character separated input..

one last question:

how would the code be with a second grep?

What do you mean with "a second grep" ?
