how to use a bash function defined in your .bashrc with find -exec
- by sharrajesh
my .bashrc has the following function
function myfile {
file $1
}
export -f myfile
it works fine when i call it directly
rajesh@rajesh-desktop:~$ myfile out.ogv
out.ogv: Ogg data, Skeleton v3.0
it does not work when i try to invoke it through exec
rajesh@rajesh-desktop:~$ find ./ -name *.ogv -exec myfile {} \;
find: `myfile': No such file or directory
is there a way to call bash script functions with exec?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
sharrajesh
