Question grep multiple text files in folder into 1 text file?
How do I use the grep command to take mutiple text files in a folder and make one huge text file out of them. I'm using Mac OS X and can not find a text tool that does it so I figured I'd resort to the BSD Unix CLI for a solution... there are 5,300 files that I want to write to one huge file so that I can import it into a database in one shot... any help would be geratly appreciated. Thanx.
