Shell Code to Recursively search a directory for files and process them one by one
#!/bin/sh $FILENAME="RECORDS" for FILE in `find . -name $FILENAME` do ## Process $FILE echo "FILE: $FILE" cat "$FILE" | ( # Read Header but don't process it read line # Read records while read line do echo $line done ) done The above shell script code searches through current directory (and subdirectories) for all files with name RECORDS.

Then you could put following code to read off all names in while loop. $NAME=`echo $line| cut -d"," -f1` echo $NAME
