Seeing as you have a lot of files it'd be quick to do something like
$ cd /path/to/files
$ files=*
$ cat $files > bigfile
Saves you typing all the filenames in. There are more ways to do this, but this is about the quickest and easiest.
Cheers

I'm trying to concatenate records from 2 files and output it to a third file. The problem I'm running into is that it seems like the "While" command is limited to processing one file at a time. It seems like you could read a record from file1 into a variable. Then do the same for the for file2.... (4 Replies)

Hi,
I would like a shell script that reads all files in a directory and concatenate them. It is not a simple concatenation. The first few lines of the files should not be included.

html::diff
HTML::Diff(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTML::Diff(3pm)
NAME
HTML::Diff - compare two strings of HTML
This module compares two strings of HTML and returns a list of a chunks which indicate the diff between the two input strings, where
changes in formatting are considered changes.
HTML::Diff does not strictly parse the HTML. Instead, it uses regular expressions to make a decent effort at understanding the given HTML.
As a result, there are many valid HTML documents for which it will not produce the correct answer. But there may be some invalid HTML
documents for which it gives you the answer you're looking for. Your mileage may vary; test it on lots of inputs from your domain before
relying on it.
SYNOPSIS
$result = html_word_diff($left_text, $right_text);
DESCRIPTION
Returns a reference to a list of triples [<flag>, <left>, <right>]. Each triple represents a check of the input texts. The flag tells you
whether it represents a deletion, insertion, a modification, or an unchanged chunk.
Every character of each input text is accounted for by some triple in the output. Specifically, Concatenating all the <left> members from
the return value should produce $left_text, and likewise the <right> members concatenate together to produce $right_text.
The <flag> is either 'u', '+', '-', or 'c', indicating whether the two chunks are the same, the $right_text contained this chunk and the
left chunk didn't, or vice versa, or the two chunks are simply different. This follows the usage of Algorithm::Diff.
The difference is computed on a word-by-word basis, "breaking" on visible words in the HTML text. If a tag only is changed, it will not be
returned as an independent chunk but will be shown as a change to one of the neighboring words. For balanced tags, such as <b> </b>, it is
intended that a change to the tag will be treated as a change to all words in between.
