Xargs passing value {} twice
I'm doing a list of files in a directory and greping out a certain file name global_log and then trying to grep in all those files for a NAME and then out put those lines into a txt file of the same name as the source file.
Here is what i have: Code:
ls -la | grep global_log | awk '{print $8}' | xargs -i grep NAME {} > {}.txt
All this works: Code:
ls -la | grep global_log | awk '{print $8}' | xargs -i grep NAME {}
The problem is when i add on the last part Code:
> {}.txt
Instead of creating a file for each file it just creates one file called {}.txt instead of the name it holds. Any idea where im going wrong?

It may be due to the > {}.txt being seen as outside the scope of the xargs command.

You could try and 'cheat' - this is off top of head so no guarantee ...
Code:
ls -la | grep global_log | awk '{print $8}' | xargs -i tname={} | grep NAME $tname > $tname.txt
