Question

So I would like to do a simple find in a dir with:

find /HOME/ | grep .properties

Then with this list I want to weed out certain files, lets say one is server.properties and another is testing.properties.

After those have been taken out, I want to do a quick for loop that will pass each remaning file that didn’t get filtered out into a function one by one. The function call is just something like

extractHash FILE OUTPUTFILE

I hope this makes sense, I’ll try to be more clear if it’s not.

Thanks

for file in "`find ~ -name \*.properties |grep -v -e server.properties -e testfile.properties`"; do
    extractHash $file output
done
