The following is perfect to find the Permission denied file/folder. Now need to add pipeline to the follows to exec sudo chmod o+rw. How to make it work? Thanks.
find . 2>&1 | sed 's/^[^:]*: .\(.*\).: Permission denied/\1/p;d'

Why can't you just do `2>/dev/null` over the output of `find` instead of removing with `sed` – Inian Mar 22 '18 at 15:32

@Inian the result looks not right just do 2>/dev/null – caot Mar 22 '18 at 15:35

Can you show us a sample of how `find` output looks like – Inian Mar 22 '18 at 15:38

@Inian the line of code is from question at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49431602/how-do-i-split-a-string-on-a-delimiter-in-bash/49432024#49432024 – caot Mar 22 '18 at 15:45

`find ... | sed ... | xargs chmod ...` or if *spaces* or other special characters `find ...|sed...|tr \\n \\0 | xargs -0 ...` – F. Hauri - Give Up GitHub Mar 22 '18 at 18:21

@F.Hauri I know how to use xargs, however need to use sudo in the pipeline. – caot Mar 22 '18 at 18:23
