CPU & Memory process mutliple files in the same directory
I have over 900 files that have the same name except for a unique numeric assignment. For all files I would like to cut the 2nd column and paste all into one new file. All in bash.
sample input format for each file:
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3

sample command for what I want to do:
cut -d' ' -f2 file_in >> file_out

Ultimately I would like process the files through a loop.

Thanks in advance!!!
