This is a (currently) small script that does magic to run Tcl against large number of files. It's loosely based on idea of xargs and perl's flags.
Sample usages would be:
$ xtcl -line 'set line [format "%3d> %s" $linenumber $line]' file1.txt file2.txt ; # add line numbers to each line of file1.txt and file2.txt $ xtcl -file 'set contents "# [file tail $filename] --\n#\n#\tSome comment\n#\n\n$contents"' file1.tcl file2.tcl ; # add some comments at the beginning of the file $ xtcl -line 'set line [string map {cvs.sourceforge.net FOOBAR.cvs.sourceforge.net}]' -find CVS/Root ; # 1-liner to handle SourceForge cvs changes :-)
Code:
#!/bin/sh # \ exec tclsh "$0" ${1+"$@"} namespace eval xtcl {} proc xtcl::usage {} { set s [file tail [info script]] return "Usages: $s ?-debug? -line tcl_command <file switches> Iterate through each line in each file found and call the script $s -file tcl_command <file switches> Iterate through each line in each file found and $s -match <file switches> Finds files and prints out filenames <file switches>: -find glob_pattern1 ?glob_pattern2? ?glob_pattern3? ?...? -glob glob_pattern1 ?glob_pattern2? ?glob_pattern3? ?...? -files ?file1 ?file2? ?..??
