how i can get output the name of dir masked via '*' in commandline like this:
1dir testtext1
2dir testtext2
3dir testtext3
Thank you
With awk:
awk 'FNR == 1 {split(FILENAME, parts, "/")}
{print parts[2], $0}' test/*/test.txt
That is, on the first line of each file, split the filename on / into the parts array.
And for each line, print the second element of that array, and the full record ($0), separated with OFS (space by default).
