Bash for loop pull text from file recursively -


i having trouble writing bash loop script can extract contents of specific file common many child directories under parent directory.

directory structure:

/parent/child/grand_child/great_grand_child/file 

in there many child, grandchild, , great grandchild folders.

i want script (in english):

for every grand_child folder, in every child folder:

  1. search through 1 great_grand_child folder
  2. find file named 0001.txt
  3. print text in row 10 of 0001.txt output file
  4. in next column of output file, print full directory path file text extracted from.

my script far:

for in /parent/**; if [ -d "$i" ]; echo "$i" fi done 

can have designing script? far gives me path each grand_child folder, don't know how isolate 1 great_grand_child folder, , ask text in row 10 of 0001.txt file inside great_grand_child folder.

thanks in advance guidance or help.

# every grandchild directory parent/child/grandchild grandchild in parent/*/*    # file $grandchild/greatgrandchild/0001.txt    file in "$grandchild/"*/0001.txt         # if there no such file, skip grandchild directory.      if [ ! -f "$file" ]             echo "skipping $grandchild, no 0001.txt files" >&2        continue      fi       # otherwise print 10th line , file came from.      awk 'fnr == 10 { print $0, filename }' "$file"       # don't @ more 0001.txt files in grandchild directory,      # care 1 of them.      break    done done
