Batch conversion of AW docs to Pages and Number for Lion

I made over the years hundreds of documents with AW 5 and AW 6, (WP and SS). These are in dozens of different folders and subfolders on my HD.


I would like to upgrade to Lion but I understand that AW 5 documents can no longer be opened under Lion.


Going thru my hard disk to convert these files one at a time and file the converted document in the same folder as the original, would be very cumbersome.


Can someone help me with a script to automatically locate all AW 5 and AW 6 files on my HD, convert them to Pages or Number, and file the new document in the same location as the original ?


Help will be greatly appreciated.

Officially, I'm on strike !

As I was asked by Roger, I quit my cave for a quick answer.


Go to my public BOX, (address below)

navigate to :

public_YK > for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items

Download :

batch_WPSS2iWork.zip


These scripts are old so I don’t remember if they store the converted files in their original folder or in an other one.
