Often we have got files, which originate from m$ programs. 1) msword documents I wanted to make into html. There is a program called mswordview, and it can convert and copy the files by doing:
for file in *.doc; do mswordview $file > ${file%.doc}.html; done 2) The extensions are often wrong. They can be changed: for file in *.HTM; do cp $file ${file%.HTM}.html; done 3) To get lowercase letters for capitals: for file in *HTM; do cp $file `echo $file | tr A-Z a-z`; done The first trick was told by: Matthew Dalton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The third trick was told by: Peter S Galbraith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> And the second I wrote myself according to Matthew Dalton's model for msword tranforming.
