Code:
ls /tempdir |
while read filename
do
echo "this filename $filename is found and would be removed within 10 days"
done >> /test/output

Note: if the directory /test exists it is a really bad name for a file or a directory.
test is the name of a unix command. file names that match command names cause problems.
