I have thousands of files I need convert to Linux standard line ending format, i.e. using dos2unix.
The files to convert have extension either .cpp or .h
The files in question are structured in subdirectories.
I know I could find all files all with:
find ./ -follow -type f ( -iname *.cpp -o -iname *.h )
But how do I apply the command to them?
I suppose with a simple bash script with some for cycle, which I fail to write.
