Copy multiple files in one file

[msen]

How would I copy multiple file in one file ? Need urgent help.

Try something like this:

cat file1 file2 ... fileN >outputfile

I tried the suggestion. It is being copied as a continuous string. I want each file to be copied on a new line in the outfile.

And this ?

for f in file1 file2 .... fileN
do
  cat $f
  echo 
done >outfile

Seems the contents of your input files are not LF terminated.

Hope This Help

Hi:

I'm not certain what you want your output to look like, but have you considered using xargs:

cat file1 file2|xargs -n1 > newfile
