List the first few lines of every file in a directory

Question

I'm trying to create a really simple bash script, which will list the first few lines of every file in a specific directory. The directory should be specified by the argument. I think that the Grep command should be used, but I have really no idea how. My existing script does not seem to work at all, so it's no use putting it in here.

Accepted Answer

Use head command:

```
head -3 /path/to/dir/*
```

List the first few lines of every file in a directory
