creating text file with regards to file names
I have a text file (digit.txt) consisting of one column includes three digit numbers whose range are 001-...365. In the same directory, I have data text files. The file name of these data files as follows, jplg3240.18i. Only the jplg part is constant. I need to order jplg data files w.r.t. the numbers in the digit.txt file using the first 5-7 characters of the file names and store them in another text file. For example:
digit.txt=
005
301
350
005
010
data files= jplg001.18i.txt, jplg005.18i.txt, jplg301.18i.txt, jplg350.18i.txt,jplg010.18i.txt, jplg365.18i.txt
Output file should be this one:
output=
jplg005.18i
jplg301.18i
jplg350.18i
jplg005.18i
jplg010.18i

in short you need to cycle on the content of digit.txt and for the only matched data generate a second file with the list of complete filename, is it that correct?

here the while cycle could be good for reach your goal:
while read element
do
if [ -f jplg${element}* ]; then
echo jplg${element}* >> datafiles.txt
fi
done < digit.txt
Code is supposed to be run in to the path were the files are and give you as per result a file list in the file datafiles.txt with the complete name of the file if was matched in the list in the file digit.txt

If you question is concatenate the data from the files listed in digit.txt then an answer is:
ls jplg* | grep -f digit.txt | xargs cat >out.dat
In slo-mo:
ls jplg*: lists a superset of all the files you want (you can make that more restrictive if needed)
grep -f digit.txtkeeps only the lines that contain one number indigit.txt(this assumes that the three digits don't appear anywhere else in file names)
xargs cat: appliescatto all the files listed in the grep output
