Hello

I am new in unix . I would be grateful if you could help me , i want to manage lines of a text file for example i want to do [grep sth] for the first file(first line) of the text file.
i use this code
Code:
ls -lR | awk ' BEGIN {print "LIST OF ALL FILES"} /[-]rw*/ {print $9} END {print " FINISH"}' > filesystem.txt

Thanks in advance
 
Try this:

Code:
echo "LIST OF FIRST LINE OF ALL FILES"
find . -type f -exec head -1 {} \;
echo " FINISH"

I want to manage each line for example Variable= 6th line
 
This then?

Code:
LINE=8
echo "LIST OF LINES number ${LINE} OF ALL FILES"
find . -type f -exec awk "NR==$LINE" {} \;
echo " FINISH"


HTH,
