Oleg,

Lots of ways, in a ksh, try this:

for file in *.err ; do
dcNLS $file
done

Hi!
In case $file will be processing all files in directory ?
But I need processing only group of files. How I can to specify in script which files need process?

Hi Oleg,

The syntax:

for file in *.err ; do
...
done

will loop round all the files ending in .err, processing them **one at a time**. If you wish to specify a different group of files, you will need to work out how these are identified.
You can put in a multiple list, or have them listed in a file, i.e..

for file in *.err *.log *.txt ; do
command $file
done

cat filename | while read file ; do
command file
done

Please provide more information if this is not what you mean.

Thanks and regards, Robin.

Hi Oleg,

Your script should read:

cat list | while read file; do
echo Processing $file ...
dcNLS $file >> kkk # NOT -> dcNLS *err <-
done

I left off the "$" in my previous answer - sorry. The echo statement will let you know which file it is processing. Use a double ">" for redirection otherwise it will get overwritten each time.

Hope this helps, Robin.
