@devtakh: Thanks for that! Thats already the method that I'm planning to use but thought if I could do that without storing to a file and reading again. Because, if yes, I could save some more time Smilie

@Nila: Sorry just saw your post after I replied. I tried your code. it seems to be working for me. But do you know how to break the loop. I mean what should I give after giving all the filenames to break the read loop?

Thanks for the replies again!

Hi bharath don't worry just give Ctrl-D to break the loop.
