,----[ C-h f dired-do-shell-command RET ] | dired-do-shell-command is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `dired-aux'. | (dired-do-shell-command COMMAND &optional ARG FILE-LIST) | | Run a shell command COMMAND on the marked files. | If no files are marked or a specific numeric prefix arg is given, | the next ARG files are used. Just C-u means the current file. | The prompt mentions the file(s) or the marker, as appropriate. | | If there is output, it goes to a separate buffer. | | Normally the command is run on each file individually. | However, if there is a `*' in the command then it is run | just once with the entire file list substituted there. | | If there is no `*', but a `?' in the command then it is still run | on each file individually but with the filename substituted there | instead of at the end of the command. | | No automatic redisplay of dired buffers is attempted, as there's no | telling what files the command may have changed. Type | M-x dired-do-redisplay to redisplay the marked files. | | The shell command has the top level directory as working directory, so | output files usually are created there instead of in a subdir. | | In a noninteractive call (from Lisp code), you must specify | the list of file names explicitly with the FILE-LIST argument. `---- Tim -- Tim Cross The e-mail address on this message is FALSE (obviously!).
