Thank you for your response.
I think i didnt explain what i need clearly,
I have 145 directories each one has many files,
for example one of the directories is
ClassA that has grade.txt subjects.txt courses.txt description.xml
i want to have one file called ClassA.txt that contanis all the contents of grade.txt , subject.txt , courses.txt
and each part in ClassA.txt should have comment '//' and the file name
i.e
ClassA.txt
would be like
//grade.txt
[content of grade .txt]
// subject.txt
[content of subject.txt]
and so forth

what i've managed to do so far is
Code:
#!/bin/sh
system='/home/path/to/first/directory'
for txtfile in `find ${system} | grep "\.txt"'$'` ; do
#echo $txtfile 
cat $txtfile | `find ${system} -name '*.txt'`  >  ClassA.txt
done

i dont want to display the path of $txtfile as shown in the code above rather i would like to append the vale of $txtfile before each .txt file

unfortunately the code above isnt working, am getting permession denied error!
