Sorry. Change:
to:
as a short term solution. And, note that if the number of files being processed increases at some point, you WILL get extra header lines in the middle of your output. As long as you always expect to have a least one file to process, the safer long-term solution is:

Since you posted this in the experienced user's forum (Shell Programming and Scripting) instead of the beginner's forum (UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers), I incorrectly assumed that you were creating a shell script and that you would know how to put two commands in a file and execute those two commands in a script.
So, going back to basics: Create a file named myscript containing the following text using an editor that uses <newline> characters as the line terminator (not the DOS/Windows <carriage-return><newline> pair of characters as the line terminator):
then make this file executable:
and then run the script:
and, if you have 12 million files with names ending with .ipfx_audio in the file hierarchy rooted in the current directory, that should give you about 12,000,001 lines of output in CSV file format printed to your terminal including the single header line.
If, instead of sending the output to your terminal, you want to save the output in a file named myoutput.csv, use this command to run the script:
If you would have told us how to determine which lines in this output belonged to which department, we could have suggested a script that would produce one output file (using this same format, with one header line in each department's file) instead of creating one file you'll have to reprocess again to create your department files. But, since you have been unwilling to give us any information on how to do that, we will have to let you split this output into the needed department files on your own.
