Hello gurus,

I produce a number of .loc files in parallel depending on number of .csv in the folder

Code:

for file in *csv
do
./process.sh $file > $file.loc &
done

then I want to compile all the output from the previous step into a single masterlocfile and then perform the rest of the steps

Code:

cat *.loc > masterlocfile

How can I make sure all the .loc files have been completely created (the for loop has ended) before moving onto the next steps including compilation?

I got some answers from google that involves a process id but I will have several different process id from the for loop. Please help.
