YUI Compressor on entire directory - os x

Question

I am trying to figure out how to run yui compressor on an entire directory. I want to compress the directory to another directory named compressed.

Any advice?

Answer 1

Assuming current working directory in a terminal contains these three:

• css/
• compressed/
• yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar

Run this command:

for i in `ls css`; do java -jar yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar -o compressed/$i css/$i; done;

Note this does not work recursively.
