link files together

fredao · #1 (**permalink**) 12-04-2006

if I have 1000 files, named file1, file2, ... ,file1000. for each one, I want to append a line, for example "this is the end of file#".

then, I want to link them all together.

how can I do that by using a simple script?

Code:

find /path -name 'file*' |\
while read file
do
     echo "end of $file" >> $file
     cat $file
done > newfile

newfile now has all of the file1... file1000 files in it. If you have room on the disk....
