Multiple files to one and copying to a folder..

[kumariaru]

Good Morning All,
I have to write a script to concatenate multiple files to a single and move the file to other folder.

We mayget a single file or two files or more..it depends..I have to put them all file to a single file and move to a new folder.All files will be in same structure(mean same number of columns)..

Can we do this through script....

Ex:
File1
File2
.
.
.
Filen

to TEST1.txt

something like cat file* > TEST1.txt ..
and then move the file to new folder...

Thanks in advance..
Kumari

Hi

Yes, if you need two files then that is the solution.

In one operation like this maby?

cat file* > /path/to/newfile.txt && rm file*

Hi

geirendre, read it again. There is no word ( excepting yours ) about removing the files.
