Hi RudiC,

Thanks for your reply.

The "shift" in "while loop" is for parameters ([--all] [--?] [--help] [--version]), not for variables "envvar" and "pattern". The "for loop" is looping over "$@" and collecting the file names as command line arguments (which will fall under "pattern").

I already tested with "test", however, that works for reading file names from standard input, however, at the same point "for loop" stops working while reading command line arguments.

for example:

If I use the below "test" statement (note: needed to replace "$@" with the variable "pattern" used for "read") to read the files from standard input then it will do this job fine, however, at the same point it will not work for reading file names from command line arguments. That is where I need the fix for this. I want it to work for reading the file names from standard input as well as from command line arguments.

Code:
test $# -eq 0 && read pattern
for pattern in "$pattern"
do
  result=
  for dir in $dirpath
  do
    for file in $dir/$pattern
