如何使用“tail -1 * / filename”拖尾多个文件的最后一行

Question

tail */filename

works, but

tail -1 */filename

doesn't. Why is this? And is there a 1 liner to perform this task without loops?

head -1 */filename

works for some strange reason.

Answer 1

While head works with -1 on multiple files, tail does not. But it works with the -n argument instead:

tail -n 1 */filename

Answer 2

If you are still looking for answer please try below one :

Go to the directory in which file are available and execute below command

ls -1|while read file; do tail -1 $file; done
