Thanks so much, now it works when using that elisp function.
One thing yet:

That was shell command. Like in bash, dash, zsh and similar.

You mean a shell command to be executed in M-x shell-command? I did so, but
the output was

<*.org" -exec echo " * [[file:`realpath {}`][{}]]" > meta-org.org \
Thanks,
GM
