@ctsgnb
Thank you for the example about shift ... so I think in the above code after executing code on one file it shifts to the next file in the $LIST for which input for each file is denoted by $1 .... right ?? ...just to understand the code Smilie

@Bartus and all
I already have a question ... sorry ... I'm loving this thread ... its teaching me so much ...thanks a lot
So the question is: what if I wanted to execute another script on the output of my first script automatically without having to save the output and then execute the second on it ???? So lets say that I want to execute another script called script2.pl on the output of the above code lets say script1.sh for ease .... how do I get to automatize this ? There must be a way ... could you please enlighten me on this ? ....
Thanks a lot in advance ...
Cheers Smilie

Seeking knowledge is nothing shameful, so you don't have to apologize Smilie. As for your request: if script2.pl is expecting a filename as argument, then this should work:
Code:
script1.sh file1 file2 | script2.pl -

Thanks Bartus... that's very well said and very nice of you .... Thank you ever so much ... Hv a nice evening Smilie
That was actually as simple as a pipe and a "-" in the end of script2.pl ... could you explain the use of "-" and if I had to pipe that to yet another script3(.pl or .sh or whatever) do I still use "-" ? I think YES but please confirm or correct Smilie
Cheers !!

- in place where filename should be, means standard input (output from previous command in a pipe). About your second question: if script3.pl have to work on output coming from script2.pl, then yes, you can execute it like this:
Code:
script1.sh file1 file2 | script2.pl - | script3.pl -
