[SOLVED] map the name of the file with its content

Upendra Pratap Singh · 01-08-2016, 03:57 AM

Hi,

I have some files which have only line

for example,

file1 has the content "A"
file2 has the content "B"
file3 has the content "C"

Now I have to create another file "result" that has the entry like

file1 A
file2 B
file3 C

How can I do this?

Something like this:

Code:

for f in <list of all your files>
do
    echo "$f $(<$f)"
done > result

The $(<....) operator is replaced by the file content.

I will leave the ironing out of wrinkles to you.
