  • What's wrong with putting the commands into your script? Why won't that work for you? Commented Oct 28, 2019 at 11:58
  • I am running script with the cmds as: cat $full/blank/ascii/*/*xyz > $full/blank/ascii/output.txt then split -b 2000m $full/blank/ascii/ouput.txt when i run this, it says line 1: /blank/ascii/output.txt: no such file or directory. I havefull pathway at the start of the file too Commented Oct 28, 2019 at 12:14
  • Please would you put that update into your question, where it can be seen and easily read by everyone. Commented Oct 28, 2019 at 12:30
  • The error message you see would indicate that the expression $full you are using in your path specifications is undefined (notice the path it reports starts with /blank?). Perhaps if you posted the script, too, the community might be able to help in debugging it. Commented Oct 28, 2019 at 12:32
  • thank you, I corrected my $full path, it is now running. just need to send the new files to the correct folder Commented Oct 28, 2019 at 12:35
