Using LibreOffice Command Line to Convert Appleworks/Clarisworks to Docx and Xlsx

In this video I use the command line interface to batch convert Appleworks/Clarisworks files to docx and xlsx files using LibreOffice.

Mac Example
find ./ -iname '*.cwk' -execdir /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --headless --convert-to xlsx --outdir ./ {} \;
Linux Example
find ./ -iname '*.cwk' -execdir soffice --headless --convert-to xlsx --outdir ./ {} \;

Change xlsx to docx for word processor files.
