Hi,

I tried on the below code but it doesnt work at all. The execution get stuck

Actually, I can get the string name for filename manually by using
filters=${x:37}

And I would like to read in multiple files of .txt.And end up having these string on the front of the numbers which are extracted for each file.

For example:-
I have 2 files which is bla1.txt and bla2.txt which contains all the numbers to parse horizontally with "," in another new file; called output.txt

In the output.txt, it would be expected to have :-
bla1,1,0,0...........
bla2,1,0,1,...........

I have this code:-

echo $PWD
for x in /home/*; do

filters=${x:37}

cat *.txt| sed 's/^[ ]*//' |sed 's/^-/0/'|sed 's/^#####/0/'|sed '/^[^0-9-]/d'|tr ':' "," |awk '
{

printf ("%s",$1);

}

{

printf("\n");}'> output.txt

But I do not know where to include the $filters in front of each file (.txt) parsed. Besides, the "\n" doesnt work for each file parsed.

Please advise. Thanks alot.
