(what everyone else said)

you don't need "ls -1", since ls (should) only do single column output
if stdout isn't a tty


note also herbert's method, which doesn't even need the ls (i've
changed the "echo ``", since i had to add something original to this
thread ;):

for o in /path/*; do
  echo -n $o\ ; cat $o
done >> results
