Hi,
The syntax for the combining.executable is correct and it would not put the data from infile3 in front of the infile2 in outfile2. The excitable will add columns from infile3 to the end of outfile1. I've used the syntax to illustrate that the outcome of one command should be the input for the other.
I'm sorry, but your interpretation of the commands is not correct. We do not need to keep outfile1 through outfile6000, we just need outfile1 to be input for the executable in order to generate outfile2, then outfile1 can be deleted. Outfile2 will be the input for the executable to generate outfile3. Then outfile2 can be deleted and outfile3 can be used as input to generate outfile4, etc.
I may not need a master file or the loop, it was just the way I tried to solve the problem. But it does not necessarily have to be the case. The point is that I need to run a program (executable) where the output of step1 is the input of step2, and the output of step2 is the input for step 3, etc.
The format of my input files is text. They are the only ones in the folder.
The name of the output files does not matter.

Hi,
I have some output from 'ls' command and I want to loop over the output in a bash script. What would be a good way to go about it?
For example, if the output of the ls command gives me 'prefix1 prefix2 prefix3', how can I set a loop that will iterate over these?
many thanks! (5 Replies)
