Bash script read specifc value from files of an entire folder

Hello,

I heva a problem creating a script that read specifc value from all the files of an entire folder

I have a number of email files into a directory and i need to extrect from each file 2 specific values.

After that i have to put them into a new file that looks like that:

--------------

To: value1

value2

--------------

This is what i want to do, but i don't know how to create the script:

ls -l | awk '{print $9 }' >tmpfile - i am putting the name of the files into a temp file

date=`date +"%T"` - used for the name of a file

var1=`cat tmpfile | grep "To: 0" | awk '{print $2 }' | cut -b -10 ` - the first specific value from file(phone number)

var2=cat file | grep Subject | awk '{print $2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10 }' - the second specific value from file(subject)

echo "To: 4"$var1"" > sms-$date - put the first value in a new file on the first row

echo ""$var2"" >>sms-$date put the second value in the same file on the second row

.......

and do the same for every file in the directory

I tried using while and for functions but i couldn't finalize the script

Thank You
