Run shell script for every file in directory

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 480K Apr 21 13:17 2012_04_05
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 483K Apr 21 13:17 2012_04_06

I have a shell script that accepts a file as a paramater and calculates figures based on the data in the file, i call the script like this

sh Calculate.sh MyFile

I want to run this shell script for every file in this directory.

How would i go about doing this, xargs ??

Answer 1

Have you tried the find command with execution ?

My sample will echo the files, but you can call a shell script with the filename as a parameter

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec echo {} \;
