Searching files within subdirectories

jalvarez · #1 (**permalink**) 09-08-2003

I need to concatenate files that are inside a directory and subdirectories. Those files end with .c
Can anyone help me

I am using comand 9find) and (cat) but they don't work together.

Try something along these lines (assumtion: you want all the output to one file)

$ cd mydir-holding-c-files
$ find ./ -name "*.c" -type f -exec cat {} >> /tmp/all-c-file-info \;
$

Then all the info that is in the different .c files will be in the /tmp directory in whatever you want to call your new file. Post back if this doesn't completely solve what you want to do.
