YMMV but I'd do something like: for F in foo/*.ncd; do links -dump $F > $(echo $F|sed 's/\.ncd$/.txt/'); done "for each file matching foo/*.ncd convert the dump the content as plain text using links into a file with the same name but the extension .ncd replaced with .txt" I happen to like links but this should work with any html-text converter. Just watch out that it does the right things for what you want with the file names.
