Hello all.

Like Ive stated before, I am new to world of Unix. I was given the tast to create a script that will concatenate 20 files into one file. I know that the cat command is to be used but I am looking for something to get started on. Again, basically I need to wrtie a script that whill concatenate 20 files into one file that holds all the 20 files.

Thanks!
