Re: Getting file version

I want to write a script to get the versions for all the files in a

do this, but I am not finding one. This script will be running from
terminal on OS X and typically I've scripted using the bourne shell
before, but I am open to any ideas. Any help is appreciated.

for file in *

printf "%s: " "$file"
: whatever command gets you the version
done > version_file

Many files do not have a version, so use whatever command works
for the files in question.
