对文件夹中的所有文件递归运行终端命令

Question

I am working on a problem that requires me to extract text from a pdf. I am using pdfbox in order to do so. So, I run this command in the terminal (linux ubuntu):

java -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.7.jar ExtractText [path leading to file here]

and everything works. However, I want to do this recursively for thousands of files in a particular directory, so I don't have to manually plug in the pdf path every time. I would appreciate any solution that's either from the terminal or a script.

Answer 1

使用find命令：

find /path/to/directory -type f -exec java -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.7.jar ExtractText {} \;
