Hi:

Does anyone know the bash command for getting the tail command to work correctly for a range of files, using the wild card character?

tail -1 myfiles*

does NOT work, but I do want the tail to run over the matched files in myfiles*

Currently I am using

ls myfiles* | sed "s/^/tail -1 /" > tmp ; bash tmp ; rm tmp

but this is cumbersome.

Thanks for showing a simple answer

Randall
