Worthless at scripting, need help archieving simple goal

[robz0rz]

Hey all

As stated, I am worthless at scripting, for I have no real knowledge of any common scripting langauge used in the linux world (be it bash, python, etc)

Imagine I have a directory structure full of subdirectories filled with SVG files and soft links to SVG files in this directory structure. I will be voncerting all the SVG files to PNG files, but that will obviously break the soft links to them. So what I want to do is have a script that tracks down all symlinks in the directory structure for me and changes the linked file from "link-target.svg" to "link-target.png".

How would I do this?

find -type l will find the symbolic links for you. If you directed this into a file, you could then do a construction like:

for link in `cat linkfile` do
rm -f $link
ln -s $link.png $link
done
