I will try to explain with an example
I have one main folder with unknown number of folder in them, e.g. A,B,C, ...
but all of them have the same sub-folder structure in them
like each them have a folder called Basic which has the original data in it
I have the following code for sentence count ---
Code:
FILES="basic/*"
for X in $FILES
do
	name=$(basename $X) 
		#sentence-count
	awk '{ total+=gsub(/[\.]/," ", $0); next}
	END{print FILENAME,",",total} ' $X 
done > sentence-count.csv

now instead of calling this from each A,B,C path I want to call this from the main folder to automatically do it for all of them
Code:
FILES="Main/*"
for X in $FILES
do
#### the problem is here ######
FILES="basic/*"
for X in $FILES
do
	name=$(basename $X) 
		#sentence-count
	awk '{ total+=gsub(/[\.]/," ", $0); next}
	END{print FILENAME,",",total} ' $X 
done > sentence-count.csv ### and here as each folder should has its own file
done

I dont know how I should address the PATHS to read all of the folders after main folder
Code:
FILES="*/basic/*"

Seems to work but when it comes to I don't know what to do to have one per folder
Code:
Main/A/sentence-count.csv
Main/B/sentence-count.csv
....

dircmp

dircmp(1)						      General Commands Manual							 dircmp(1)

NAME

       dircmp - directory comparison

SYNOPSIS

       n] dir1 dir2

DESCRIPTION

       examines  dir1  and  dir2 and generates various tabulated information about the contents of the directories.  Sorted listings of files that
       are unique to each directory are generated for all the options.	If no option is entered, a sorted list is output  indicating  whether  the
       filenames common to both directories have the same contents.

	      Compare the contents of files with the same name in
		      both  directories  and  output  a list telling what must be changed in the two files to bring them into agreement.  The list
		      format is described in diff(1).

	      Suppress messages about identical files.

	      Change the width of the output line to
		      n characters.  The default width is 72.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   Environment Variables
       LC_COLLATE determines the order in which the output is sorted.

       If is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of is used as a default.  If is not specified or is set	to
       the  empty  string,  a  default of ``C'' (see lang(5)) is used instead of If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
       behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to ``C'' (see environ(5)).

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

EXAMPLES

       Compare the two directories and and produce a list of changes that would make the directories identical:

WARNINGS

       This command is likely to be withdrawn from X/Open standards. Applications using this command might not be portable to other vendors'  sys-
       tems.  As an alternative is recommended.
