Unix Tip #4591- October 6, 2025
POWER OF BACKQUOTES
Backquotes are the most powerful things in Unix. More than one
Unix commands can be run simultaneously on the prompt.
In csh,
% find . -name "*.txt" -print
gives the path & names of the files with extension ".txt" in
current directory and its subdirectories. If you want to open
these files in vi together then
% vi `find . -name "*.txt" -print`
Similarly,
% find . -name "*.txt" -print
% vi `!!`
this will open all those files in vi listed by find command.
