@xoops--
1.DE.1.TXT is a 1 file
2.DE.2.TXT is a second file and so on..and One Fe.ok
There can be multiple files may be till 100 also.
All are one file..
In previous post they were also one file but with a space between them like 1.DE 1.TXT (This is one file i.e filename is with space)...
Now what all contains in the Direcetory
Can contain any number of files starting with one two three numbering and can contain any other file name (for example 92.xoops.txt)...
My concern is if i use for loop then i cant put all these file name in the for loop.What can be the solution..
also if one file is missing (for example from 1 to 20 files are in sequence, and suddenly 21 file is not available and drom 22 to 100 files are present, in that case the script will fail)..
Hope this clears all the doubt....pls provide the script...
At the biginning, you talked about files like :
1.DE 1.TXT (without telling us if it was 2 distincts files or 1 filename containing a space, so we had to ask for this information)
then you changed for filename like :
1.DE.1.TXT
and now you tell us that the filename could also be
92.xoop.txt
If the structure of the filename change at every post, it becomes difficult to provide an accurate help to you.
This is why it is important that you take the time to fully explain your requirement.
... so :
1) do you confirm that all your files do have a name like :
like :
when you state "in that case the script will fail" <---- this is not clear
"in that case the script should fail but currently doesn't" <---- this is a clear statement "in that case the script currently fails whereas i wish it would continue" <---- this is a clear statement
2) What do you want to happen if a number is missing in the sequence ?
a) Do you want the script to continue to the next sequence number ?
or
b) Do you want the script to abort ?
@ctsgnb Apologize.
I confirm that the file name are like :
OK...Now if any number is missing it should check for the next number if it is present then the script should continue and if not then it should come out of the loop sayin hmmm next number not present or what ever echo message....

Also please put a check in your script like
if there is a file (may be adc.dat) at some xyz location (/usr/xyz) remove that file and then start your script....
@ctsgnb - Thanks the above script of yours is working fine but there is one issue in it....
It reads all the file properly like it is reading 1.gjsdlfjds, 2.fsdjklmghsj, 3.fjdksfdsq, 4.xoop.txt, 5.DE.5.TXT but is the 6th file is not there and the 7th file is available it thros and error saying ls: 6.*: No such file or directory and the loop get over and it doesnt read the 7th file..
Also i have 15th file as well it doesnt go there as well...
Sequence of files are
