*help repeat
==> Help on keyword Repeat
*Repeat iterates over a directory, performing a command for each
object found
Options:
directories limit search to directories
files limit search to files
applications limit search to applications
type <type> limit search to files of a given type
tasks start each command as a separate task
verbose give an indication of progress
sort enumerate directories in ascending ASCII order
stb put first error into X$Error (except when -tasks)
Syntax: *Repeat <command> <directory> [-directories | -files |
-applications |
-type <type>] <tail> [-tasks] [-verbose] [-sort] [-stb]
This is from RISC OS 5. Not all versions of RISC OS have the full set
of options as above. Not all versions of RISC OS have the command in
ROM, though all versions with a boot sequence at least have it as a
disc-based command in Boot:Utils.
