exec-each

Run a command multiple times against a file glob pattern. There are several utilities that do similar things; the main advantage of exec-each is the ability to redirect standard out and standard error to a custom file for each input file.

Usage

exec-each <files> <cmd> [-- args..]

Runs once for every file in

Arguments:

files - glob pattern of the files you wish to find

cmd - command to run for each file

args - additional arguments for , supports substitutions. Arguments for should be preceded by --

Options:

--out - file path to redirect standard out, supports substitutions. Defaults to stdout.

--err - file path to redirect standard err, supports substitutions. Defaults to stderr.

--dry-run - show what commands will be run without running anything

--help - Show help

--version - Show version number

Substitutions:

exec-each will replace the following strings in the command's arguments, as well as the out or err file specified with a string based on the file matched by the glob pattern.

{path} - the full path to the file. E.g. ./dir/file.txt

{dir} - the directory containing the file. E.g. ./dir

{file} - the full name of the file. E.g. file.txt

{basefile} - the file name of the file without the extension. E.g. file

Example:

exec-each --out docs/{basefile}.md src/*.js jsdoc2md -- {path}
