Execute all files at once
Hi everyone, i'm newbie to unix!
If I have many files named by temp1.txt, temp2.text, temp3.txt,..... I want to introduce some key words at the top of each of files. The script (named bimbo) I tried is shown.
Code:
#!/bin/csh
set FILE=$1
echo $FILE
set OUT=$1
echo '%tage='$FILE  >> x_$FILE    
sed -e  '2i\%aveg=330'   x_$FILE  > x1  
sed -e  '3i\temp=3000MB'  x1 > x2
sed -e '4i\%rain=8'  x2  > x3
sed -e '5i\@skyhigh' x3  > x4
sed -e '6i\ '   x4> x5      # insert blank line
echo 'topic:'$FILE.txt >>  x5    # file names
sed -e '8i\ ' x5> x6
sed -e '9i\bm nnm'   x6 > x7
cat x7 $FILE.txt >  $OUT.out

when I execute: ./bimbo temp1 it works but not for multiple files at once /bimbo *.txt,? so how do i make to excetue all files at once? thanks

       -t, --trace
	   Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.

       -n, --nop
	   No operation mode. Actual execution of the essential shell commands which would be executed is suppressed.

       -w, --warning

	    make install

HISTORY

       The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool.  It was prompted
       by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.

SEE ALSO

       shtool(1), sed(1).
