File operations

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi there,

I want some help on scripting regarding file processing.

I have a scenario in which I have 10 files. (file1.txt, file2.txt....) and they are in paricular format.

I want to read these files and append some text lines at the begining of each file and write this updated contents of each file in one paricular file (Combined_files.txt).

so, could you please give a script for this?

Please get back to me if I am not clear in explaining the situation.
Please treat it as urgent! :confused:

Thanks in advance!

well....... do you have a 7x24 support contract with us?

here's something to start with - feel free to modify.

#!/bin/ksh

comb='Combined_files.txt'

\rm -rf "${comb}" 2> /dev/null 

for file in *.txt
do
   (
       echo "Here's my header text line1"
       echo "Here's my header text line1"
       cat "${file}"
   ) >> "${comb}"
done
