Data list files and contents
I have a group of getOSinfo.out files that I would like to list the filename and then its contents out to. I can do it for each one individually, but would prefer to do it all in one shot and have one large file that has all of the oslevels and filenames. I am not very handy with scripts, so I was wondering if anyone had a script that did this already. It is on AIX so ksh is prefered, but I can probably tweak most things to work. I would like the output to look something like this:

Filename.out
content line 1
content line 2

You get the idea, I am still in my scripting infancy so please bare with me. Thanks for any help with this.

BTW this is what I was using, I know I will need a much more robust set of commands than this.

ls *.GetOSInfo.out > OSInfo.out | cat *.GetOSInfo.out >> OSInfo.out

NAME

       dircmp - directory comparison

SYNOPSIS

       dircmp [-ds] [-w n] dir1 dir2

DESCRIPTION

       The  dircmp  command  examines dir1 and dir2 and generates various tabulated information about the contents of the directories. Listings of
       files that are unique to each directory are generated for all the options. If no option is entered, a list is output indicating whether the
       file names common to both directories have the same contents.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -d      Compares  the  contents	of  files with the same name in both directories and output a list telling what must be changed in the two
	       files to bring them into agreement. The list format is described in diff(1).

       -s      Suppresses messages about identical files.

       -w n    Changes the width of the output line to n characters. The default width is  72.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       dir1    A path name of a directory to be compared.
       dir2

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of dircmp when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of dircmp: LC_COLLATE,	LC_CTYPE,  LC_MES-
       SAGES, and NLSPATH.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0     Successful completion.

       >0    An error occurred. (Differences in directory contents are not considered errors.)

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
