Re: A small wrapper

You could also use a Perl one-liner, something like this (untested):

perl -e 'map {system "convert.pl $_"} glob $ARGV[0];' "*.a"

Why not let the shell glob? `perl -e 'system "convert.pl", $_ for (@ARGV)' *.a` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Right, this is also what I would usually do most of the time because I work mostly on various Unix systems, but I can't do that under VMS, under which I am also doing some of my work, and this also does not work under Windows. I was trying to give a more portable solution (although both under VWS and Windows, single quote would have to be changed into double quotes and vice-versa).	[reply]
