Don't do this. The shell has glob pattern, the ls is not required and will break the code if there are spaces in the filename.

The correct way to do this is:
Code:
for fillename in *aaa_ddd_ccc_ddd.txt

Hi,

When i run the following code,it gets into an infinite loop and never comes out.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
cd /space/tmp/file

for filename in *aaa_ddd_ccc_ddd.txt
do
grep -v 'Total records:' > $filename_new
mv $filename_new $filename
done

Image::ExifTool::AFCP(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Image::ExifTool::AFCP(3)

NAME

       Image::ExifTool::AFCP - Read/write AFCP trailer

SYNOPSIS

       This module is used by Image::ExifTool

DESCRIPTION

       This module contains definitions required by Image::ExifTool to extract information from the AFCP trailer.  Although the AFCP specification
       is compatible with various file formats, ExifTool currently only processes AFCP in JPEG images.

NOTES

       AFCP is a specification which allows meta information (including IPTC) to be appended to the end of a file.

       It is a poorly designed protocol because (like TIFF) it uses absolute offsets to specify data locations.  This is a huge blunder because it
       makes the AFCP information dependent on the file length, so it is easily invalidated by image editing software which doesn't recognize the
       AFCP trailer to fix up these offsets when the file length changes.  ExifTool will attempt to fix these invalid offsets if possible.

       Scanning for AFCP information may be time consuming, especially when reading from a sequential device, since the information is at the end
       of the file.  In these instances, the ExifTool FastScan option may be used to disable scanning for AFCP information.
