I'm trying to construct a find command to process a bunch of files in a directory using two different executables.

Suppose I have a table. Now, I'm interested in Getting Useful Data Easily. This means I'd rather not drop it into Excel and go through contortions, nor somehow get it into CSV and then into a DB, and then into SQL.
