Using paste command every nth number of file
Hi,

I want to use paste command in a loop that does it every 6 files. My sample files are like the ones below.
Code:
20010101.txt 20010106.txt 20010111.txt 
20010116.txt 20010121.txt 20010126.txt
20010131.txt 20010205.txt 20010210.txt
20010215.txt 20010220.txt 20010225.txt
20010302.txt 20010307.txt 20010312.txt
20010317.txt 20010322.txt 20010327.txt
...20011227.txt
each file contains 1-column data which I need to paste together to make a 6-column file

paste 20010101.txt 20010106.txt 20010111.txt 20010116.txt 20010121.txt 20010126.txt > 200101.txt

paste 20010131.txt 20010205.txt 20010210.txt 20010215.txt 20010220.txt 20010225.txt > 200102.txt

and so on...

how can I automate the pasting process every 6 files? Thanks much for any help.

ATR_ANALYSIS(1p)                                                   User Commands                                                  ATR_ANALYSIS(1p)

NAME

       ATR_analysis - analyse a smart card ATR

SYNOPSIS

       ATR_analysis [ATRstring]

DESCRIPTION

       ATR_analysis is used to parse the ATR (Answer To Reset) sent by a smart card.

       The command also tries to find the card model using an ATR database stored in a text file smartcard_list.txt.

       The smartcard_list.txt file is searched in ./, /usr/local/pcsc/ and /usr/share/pcsc/ directories.

       Exemple:
        $ ATR_analysis '3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52'
        ATR: 3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52
        + TS = 3B --> Direct Convention
        + T0 = A7, Y(1): 1010, K: 7 (historical bytes)
          TB(1) = 00 --> Programming Param P: 0, I: 0
          TD(1) = 40 --> Y(i+1) = 0100, Protocol T = 0
        -----
          TC(2) = 18 --> Work waiting time: 960 x 24 x (Fi/F)
        + Historical bytes: 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52

        Possibly identified card:
        3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52

       Maybe many bugs since I am not a ISO 7816 expert.
