If the above is bash code, I think that should be: for i in `mdfind -onlyin ~/Documents/foo .rtf` do textutil -convert txt $i done for i in `mdfind -onlyin ~/Documents/foo .doc` do textutil -convert txt $i done (backquotes instead of apostrophes, and $i inside the do loop) You might also need to replace $i with "$i" if you have filenames with spaces in them. » POSTED IN:
