Code:

./update.sh: line 2:  : command not found
find: ‘/app/oracle/s1’: Permission denied
find: ‘/app/payless’: Permission denied
f

cat: : No such file or directory

Kindly insert your update.sh script here, my mind-reading powers doesn't work on Mondays.
Nonetheless the files and directories you are not allowed to read can be safely omitted:

Code:

find ~/tmp/app -name '*temp.txt' -type f -readable 2>/dev/null |\
while read Name; do echo "=== $Name ==="; cat -- "$Name"; done

you get output

Code:

/app/tmp/folder/temp.txt
/app/oracle/scp/temp.txt

--- ouput of temp.txt file

--- ouput of temp.txt file

is there a way that we get output of each txt files for ex: to be readable easily

Code:

/app/tmp/folder/temp.txt

--- ouput of txt file
/app/oracle/scp/temp.txt

--- ouput of txt file

Indeed the -print prints the filenames immediately, while the + causes bundling/delaying of the -exec cat
Simple fix:

Code:

find /app -name '*temp.txt' -print -exec cat {} \;  > files.list

The \; causes an immediate exec of cat
