recursivefilecmd

Execute a command on files with a specific extension recursively in a directory tree.

1. Overview

1.1. Usage

./recursivefilecmd.sh <extension> <path> <command ..>

1.1.1. Arguments

• extension: The file extension to search for.
• path: The root directory to start searching for files.
• command: The command to execute on each file.

1.1.2. Examples

./recursivefilecmd.sh 'hcl' 'services/' nomad run -detach

./recursivefilecmd.sh 'yaml' 'config/' kubectl apply -f

1.2. Behaviour

The file-name including its path are added to the end of the given command.

All files are executed in-sequence.

When path is a file which matches the extension, only it is executed.
When the extension doesnt match, the directory is used instead, walking up up to 3 times, searching for files matching the extension.

2. Development

2.1. Features

Maybe i'll add some more features, here a few i can think of:

• Convert project to golang
• Add options for optional things
• Replace extension-filter with a regex-match
• Make recursive optional
• Parameterize passed-filepath (e.g. # for all & #1 for regex-group 1)
