Yes that is. With
for line in $(ls); do head -1 $line >> myfile; done
worked as well if I had the files, whose first lines I want to put together, in the same directory, but it is not like this. I've skipped the details. What I wanted is to join together the first value of 6 files named fort.605 in one file, each in a different directory, i.e:
approach1.dir/fort.605
...
approach6.dir/fort.605
The first way is straightforward, but thanks a lot
