Execute command on first column (filename) retrieved from a file
Hi,
I have a file abcd.txt which in turn contains 20 file names as column 1.
[
$cat abcd.txt
a.txt
b.txt
...
...
...
u.txt
]
Now I want to run a command "ct co -nc" / "cp" / "mv" on each of these $1 column content i.e. on each of the 20 file names.
How can do this using a script so that I need not run the same command 20 times repeatedly?
Kindly help as I am stuck badly in something due to this.
Regards,
Roy
