Using find to do operations on multiple files

I learned this technique from my sifoo when he had to change a bunch of html files to unix using dos2unix command. I found that this is very useful and I would like to share it :)

To find files with the extension .html in the current folder and run command dos2unix to all of them:

• $ find . -type f -name *html -exec dos2unix ’{}’ \;

To see more use of find, refer to find manpage:

• $ man find
