Do you want something like that?
Code:
awk '{print $2}' create2.txt | xargs -i bash -c 'awk "{\$1=\"\";sub(\"^ \",\"\");print}" {} > {}.tmp; mv {}.tmp {}'

let me explain my issue again

1.give the command wc -l *e* > create2.txt

2.now create2.txt contains

a.txt
b.txt
c.txt
d.txt

3.create2.txt is a random file ( output may vary depends on time) (eg: a1.txt , b1.txt,c1.txt,d1.txt if time changes)

4. now i want to cut the first colum from all the files and save it in to example.txt
