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

IMPRESSIVE-GETTRANSITIONS(1)				      Debian GNU/Linux manual				      IMPRESSIVE-GETTRANSITIONS(1)

NAME

       impressive-gettransitions - Generate Impressive info scripts for LaTeX presentations

SYNOPSIS

       impressive-gettransitions FILE.tex

DESCRIPTION

       A simple script to produce a .info file for use with Impressive, using special comments in a LaTeX/Beamer file. FILE.tex is a file to be
       parsed into .info file. For each /fullpath/blah.tex /fullpath/blah.pdf.info gets produced.

SYNTAX

       In the LaTeX document, impressive-gettransitions counts the pages to determine the PDF slide number of each one.

       The simpler page changes are automatically detected, that is:
	   egin{frame} and:
	   pause

       Other, more elaborated page changes must be noted with a %O comment:
	   item<1-> Foo
	   item<2-> Bar %O

       The transition to apply can be specified in a %O comment:
	   egin{frame} %O SlideUp

OPERATION

       When the .info file corresponding to the LaTeX document already exist, impressive-gettransitions does not clear it, but only adds the
       transitions if finds to it.

       Thus, if you modified your document in a way that requires to completely replace the transitions, manually clear the PageProps section of
       the .info file. This can be done by running the following sed command:
	   sed -i -e "/^PageProps = {/,/^}/d" FILE.info
