clarification, let me know if anything is missing

Thanks for the reply. Sorry if i am not clear here.
suppose file1 is as follow ( and other files file2, file3 etc also similar to this, only data is different)

Code:

00020856820000      00544     00000000000001028
00068826707655      00155     00000000000006013
00003150631309      00166     00000000000002027
00004800121348      00088     00000000000004042
00068826704470      00645     00000000000001101
00001380055665      06005     00000000000001045
00078616200151      00603     00000000000004014
00002880015010      06111     00000000000001099
00004400002795      00603     00000000000006142
00002073511018      06078     00000000000004044
00002073509273      06078     00000000000001024
00000000004329      00144     00000000000002133
00004152087031      00666     00000000000001080
00004470000927      00777     00000000000001106
00002310010266      00066     00000000000002129
00001251140600      00650     00000000000001116
00004180050130      00666     00000000000002036
00007218056750      00444     00000000000002049
00068826712549      00650     00000000000001027
00004140900410      00767     00000000000002134

dir1, dir2, dir3,dir4 contain the logs, log1.txt,log2.txt,log3.txt
log1.txt is inside dir1
log2.txt is inside dir2
log3.txt is inside dir3
log4.txt is inside dir4

dir1,dir2,dir3 etc names are always like this, i.e always word "dir" comes at the starting in directory name.

suppose log1.txt is

Code:

00068826707655 sfdfsdfsf
00003150631309 gdgdgdgdg
00004800121348 sgsgsgsgsg

log2.txt is

Code:

00004400002795 gsgsgsgsgsg
00002073511018 gsgsggsgsgg

log3.txt is

Code:

00007218056750 gsgsgsgsg
00068826712549 gsgsgsgsg
00004140900410 gsgggsgsg

log4.txt is

Code:

00001251140600 fasdfasfs

so i am thinking like:

1) Traverse file xyz.txt
2) First, read file1, store the filename(file1) in some variable
3) Traverse through dir1,dir2,dir3,dir4 and cut the first field from 1-14 ( only the numbers) from the logs log1.txt, log2.txt, log3.txt, log4.txt i.e.

Code:

00068826707655
00003150631309
00004800121348
00004400002795
00002073511018
00007218056750
00068826712549
00004140900410
00001251140600

4) grep these numbers from the file1 and make a new file.

Code:

00068826707655      00155     00000000000006013
00003150631309      00166     00000000000002027
00004800121348      00088     00000000000004042
00004400002795      00603     00000000000006142
00002073511018      06078     00000000000004044
00007218056750      00444     00000000000002049
00068826712549      00650     00000000000001027
00004140900410      00767     00000000000002134

5) Then, repeat the same steps from 2) to 4) for file2

6) Then, repeat the same steps from 2) to 4) for file3
