I have tried awk as well... my problem is now with the last word but number of words per line varies
if we look like that, I want to delete the first and last column but dont know the number of columns
sorry correct myself, each line has different number of columns for there is no fixed one
it should work with NF then
Code:
FILES="no-first/*"
for X in $FILES
do
name=$(basename $X)
awk '{ $NF=""}1' $X > no-first-last/${name}
done
now only needs combining
Thanks for the help... problem solved

COOKIETOOL(6) Games Manual COOKIETOOL(6)NAME
cookietool - program to operate cookie (fortune) database
SYNOPSIS
cookietool [options] <database>
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cookietool command.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it
has some plaintext documentation, see below.
cookietool is a program that should be used to sort, clear and maintain cookie database in standard fortune(6) format, i.e. list of cookies
delimited with line containing a single percent ('%') char. cookietool can now understand another formats and convert cookie database
between them.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the documentation in /usr/share/doc/cookietool directory
[nothing]
Shows summary of options.
-c case sensitive comparisons.
-d[0-3]
how fussy about word delimiters? (default: 2)
-b delete cookies that are 'abbreviations' of another, too.
-p passive, don't delete anything.
-s[l|w|<sep>|s]
sort cookies; looking after last line only; looking after last word only; starting after the last <sep>, e.g. '-s--'; by size.
-a treat 'abbreviations' as doubles (i.e. delete them from the database, too).
-f[0-3]
input file format - -f3: cookies are separated by '%%' lines; -f2: cookies are separated by '%' lines (DEFAULT); -f1: each line is a
cookie; -f0: each word is a cookie.
-F[0-3]
force output in a different file format, see -f.
-o overwrite directly without temporary file. CAUTION NEEDED.

None known.
