[Techtalk] In Search Of A Script to Change Attributes Of Files

[Kathy Wills]

I made a mistake in the way I backed up my files before I wiped my 
hard-drive to do a clean install. I have a large number of files in two 
different directories that are now marked as read only when they need to 
be read-write. I could spend a lot of time and chmod each files 
individually but surely there is a simple script of some kind that can 
be used on these two directories and there sub-directories to do this 
job for me. I have read the chmod man pages and tried different things 
from my understanding of these man pages. All I succeeded in doing was 
putting a lock on the directory itself and not changing the attributes 
of the files in the directory.
