I am trying to create a script that will go through several steps on specific files in a directory. Each step work file at a prompt. It's when I use 'for' to work through the needed files that isn't working.
here is the script and starting text file.
#lab2dno.sh
#
#use cygwin
#cygwin
#work in %RAM%:\
cd '/cygdrive/e'
# delete header lines
tail +4 preg.txt > file1.txt
# split into herdcode.tx1 from %RAM% (e) in bash-3.2
awk -F "," '{close(f);f=$1}{ print > f".tx1" }' file1.txt
#file list (no ext)
ls -1 *.tx1 | sed 's/\(.*\)\..*/\1/' > hc.ls1
# delete extra fields (and rename works @ prompt))
# cut -d "," -f 2,3,6 41300090.tx1 > 41300090.tx2
# this one does not work
for i in hc.ls1; do cut -d "," -f 2,3,6 $i > $i.tx2;done
# reorder fields and rename (works at propmt)
# awk -F, '{ print $2,$3,$1}' *.tx2 > *.tx3
# this one does not work
for i in *.ls1; do awk -F, '{ print $2,$3,$1}' $i > $i.DNO;done
...preg.txt...
