Additionally, I had originally created
find . -path "*.json" -print0 | xargs -0 -I FILENAME python -mjson.tool FILENAME FILENAME, which would have worked fine. However, json.tool really doesn't like writing to the same file handle that it has opened for reading, and I didn't feel like rewriting it to be a bit smarter.If anyone can see a way to do it with
findandxargs(like I had originally intended) instead of going the bash script route, let me know!
