Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Merge all the files in a folder in FIFO order Post 302656245 by Corona688 on Thursday 14th of June 2012 11:19:34 AM

It probably means what it says. It checks in the current folder for a file named "a.txt" or whatever, and it's not there.

I'm guessing you're not listing the current, hence why it can't find those files -- it's looking in the wrong place.

Prepend the path that ls removed.

Code:
ls -1rt folder | while IFS= read -r item; do [[ -f $item ]] && { cat folder/$item; stat -c %y folder/$item; } >> /work/scripts/acu/outputfile.txt; done
