Thanks Andreas Orphanide It was a mere issue with file extension (.txt). Now the downstream program is behaving perfectly well. I performed with small set of 100 files and it worked well. I have gone through the stackoverflow post but wondering why mv *.csv *.txt is not working (I tried but failed).
