Find and write to a files
Hello my friends,I'm a new learner to programming in Linux so kindly can you help me to write this simple script for me and it is lists all text files "*.TXT" in a directory and writes the first line of each text-file to a file called "Aby_Name".

Thank you so much.

something like:
# find . -type f -name '*.txt' -exec head -n 1 {} \; >> Aby_Name

if you use head it can be done in this way also
head -1 *.TXT|sed '/^==>*/d;/^$/d' >> Aby_Name
