Hi

I am trying this cmd and getting

1st file path from list of files(abc2020.txt, abc1010.txt,abc3030.txt):

ls /grid/abc*.txt | head -1

Result for above cmd:

/grid/abc1010.txt

From the this file /grid/abc1010.txt, I need to get 1st record on it.

Data in the file will look like below

10,20,vddd,ee
20,30,gggg,yy

Please help me to solve this as it is crucial to me.
