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

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.

dacsinit
DACSINIT(1) DACS Commands Manual DACSINIT(1)
NAME
dacsinit - Configure a minimal DACS federation interactively
SYNOPSIS
dacsinit [-d] [-n]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of the DACS suite.
The dacsinit command interactively creates a minimal DACS federation and jurisdiction. By default, the program uses the default paths that
were established when DACS was built and the example paths used by dacs.quick(7)[1]. When prompted, typing Return/Enter selects the default
value. It can also be used to create a configuration for a federation with one very basic jurisdiction based on names input to dacsinit.
The resulting configuration can then be extended or customized manually.
Note
This program can be found in the distribution's src directory. It is not copied elsewhere during installation.
OPTIONS
The following options are accepted:
-d
Avoid overwriting "real" files by appending a a suffix ("-xxx") to all files installed by this program. This is useful for debugging,
but you must clean up these bogus files manually.
-n
Do not actually do anything, but print the actions that would be done. Can be used with -d.
DIAGNOSTICS
The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred.
