doall online with Winfy

We have hosted the application doall in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about doall:

Extends shell * and ? wildcards to allow inserting matched strings like Windows 'copy *.old =.new'

Some examples:
# Rename current files as old
doall 'mv *.cur *.old'

# Compress camcorder DV files
doall 'ffmpeg -i *.dv *.mp4'

# Move files into directories according to their extension
doall 'mv *.* $2/$1.$2'

# Symbolic links from vmlinuz.new to vmlinuz-5.12.6-foo, similarly config.new System.map.new
doall 'ln -s /boot/*-5.12.6-* /boot/$1.new'

# Hard link 3-character abbreviations for file extensions
doall 'ln *.???* $1.$2'


As shown above, instead of '=' to indicate insertions, doall uses either * or $1 etc.

doall -p (pretend mode) shows a list of commands instead of executing them
doall -i (interactive mode) asks for confirmation for each command in turn
doall -k (keep-running mode) ignores failing commands.

Features:

• Pure POSIX shell script except in pretend mode
• Simple syntax
• Correctly handles filenames containing special characters such as quotes, line feeds and semicolons
