Question Concatenate text of two files in UNIX.
I have a file MyTest.csv saved in Unicode format in Incoming directory, and I have another file called MyTest.csv saved in ANSII format in InProcess Directory.

I need to concatenate the text of both these files and put in another file MyTest.csv which is placed in the root directory.

How do I do the same?

When I use a normal CAT command in UNIX I am getting the attached error.



If I try to open the file saved in ANSII format I am able to open, but I am unable to open the file which is saved in Unicode format?

Please suggest a way to concatenate the files saved in different formats (viz Unicode and ANSII) in UNIX box.
