Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I need a shell script to write into a .txt file the no of files in a directory with extension and separated by comma in between. For eg, a directory contains files like
a.csv
b.csv
c.csv
d.csv

Then the output in the output.txt file should be like
a.csv,b.csv,c.csv,d.csv

Shell used : bash
directory should be passed as parameter.

Please provide comments, if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Unix User

ls -m > output.txt should do the trick

Code:

 
ls -1 *.csv | perl -pe 's/\n/,/g' >output.txt

This is shouting "homework" from every line, so i am going to close this thread. All the users who have answered: please DO NOT! You most probably wouldn't want to be treated by a doctor who had to cheat his way to a diploma if you are ill - and you most probably don't want to have to use computers administrated by people who had to cheat their way to a diploma either. Even if the consequences of the latter are perhaps not as life-threatening as the the consequences of the former. True, the moderation team cannot close every homework thread as soon as it is opened - we are simply not that many and we all are volunteers. So please help us by NOT ANSWERING such threads until we find and close them. bakunin
