Question Help with ls to input for simultaneous editing
I just registered today and started unix about a month ago.

I'm trying to make a script where I can add commands or text to the end of files in a listing.

Code:
 
$ echo "#text_or_command" >> #List of files from ls

I can't seem to find/understand it on these fourms.
Could it be done at all?
