Piping commands using xargs
Thank you, Robin.
I tried both examples you provided and they both list the folder content. The only issue is both examples only print out the results without displaying the input file name so I don't know which input file produces the results.
What needs to be modified to print out the input file name and the results?
Thank you again for your help.
