Question

I have created 10 files using touch command on linux terminal in a directory having only these created files.

 $ touch a1.c a2.c a3.c a4.c a5.c a6.c a7.c a8.c a9.c a10.c

I want to write a string “stackOverflow”(say) into all these files at a time .
How to do that?Is there any command or some other way ?

From the command prompt (Bash)

for f in *.c; do echo "stackOverflow" >> $f; done
