This code produces the FILENAME for every line in the input File. (at least in gawk).
What other lines? I thought each file was one line...

If not, how about this?

Code:
awk -v ORS=" " 'LF != FILENAME { print FILENAME; LF=FILENAME }; {$1=$1} 1; END { printf("\n"); }' *.txt

Yes this works, no double entry. Thanks a lot!
