awk / bash globbing question
I would like to process a list of files matching: GPS*\.xyz with an awk script. I would then like to output the files to GPS*\.xyz.out (e.g. the same file name appended with .out). Something like:
Code:
awk '{if(NR==1) {offset=-$1}; $1=$1+offset; print }' GPS*.xyz

this does exactly what I want EXCEPT redirecting the output appropriately. I tried
Code:
awk '{ ... print > FILENAME.out}' GPS*.xyz
and
awk '{...}' GPS*.xyz > GPS*.xyz.out

but as expected this did not work.

I realize that putting this in:
Code:
for f in ls GPS*.xyz

loop would work as I need but I would like an elegant solution that I can learn from.

Suggestions?

Cheers,
Brandon Franzke

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk

       BEGIN {
	    while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
