Good suggestion ZB. But there is no other way than typing all the filenames if one needs to concatenate files in a specific order.

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. The lines to be included are the lines from where 'START HERE' appears up to the end of the file. For example, I... (4 Replies)

unsort
UNSORT(1) BSD General Commands Manual UNSORT(1)
NAME
unsort -- reorder lines in a file in semirandom ways
SYNOPSIS
unsort [-hvrpncmMsz0l] [--help] [--version] [--random] [--heuristic] [--identity] [--concatenate] [--merge] [--merge-random] [--seed integer]
[--zero-terminated] [--null] [--linefeed] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
unsort prints the lines in the input files (or standard input) in semi-random order. Available algorithms are a Mersenne Twister based PRNG
and a heuristic algorithm that aims to create a subjective even distribution.
Command line options
-h, --help
Display a concise summary of the available options and argument syntax.
-v, --version
Display version and copyright information.
-r, --random
Use the Mersenne Twister based randomization algorithm.
-p, --heuristic
Use the heuristic "shuffling" algorithm which permutes the lines in such a way that they're spread more or less evenly in the output.
This is the default.
-n, --identity
Do not reorder lines in the input. Useful if you just want to merge the files.
-r, --concatenate
Concatenate all input files then apply the shuffling algorithm to the result as a whole.
-m, --merge
Shuffle all input files seperately then merge the result. Equal-sized files will be merged in the order in which they appear on the
command line.
-M, --merge-random
Shuffle all input files seperately then merge the result. Equal-sized files will be merged in random order. This is the default.
-s, --seed integer
Use this integer as a seed, instead of random data from the environment.
-z, --zero-terminated, -0, --null
Lines are terminated with a character.
-l, --linefeed
Lines are terminated with a
character. This is the default.
