Ok this is just quick and I am sure that someone could make this a lot cleaner anyway try this script just change it for each _?_ you have.

All files which end in 20.txt have the word Hi in them.

# ls -latr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 10 20:14 WebData_9_2007-09-21.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 10 20:14 WebData_7_2007-09-21.txt

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3 Jan 10 20:16 WebData_9_2007-09-20.txt

Script
--------------------- CUT ---------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# combo for the 20.txt
#
x="20.txt"
y=` ls -la |grep "20.txt" |awk '{print $9 }'|cut -f1 -d '_'|head -1`
z=` ls -la |grep "20.txt" |awk '{print $9 }'|cut -f3 -d '_'|head -1`
#
for i in `ls -la |grep $x |awk '{print $9 }'`
do
cat $i >> $y"_all_"$z
done

--------------------- CUT ---------------------------------

Make script executable chmod 755 whatever

Run script from dir with files

./combo.sh

# ls -la
total 72

Hi
Hi
Hi
Hi

You will need to add a clean up line to remove the other files but this should get you started.

This was done on a fedora linux box will be diff under cygwin...

Good luck...

NAME

       pmdanamed - BIND (named) PMDA

DESCRIPTION

       pmdanamed is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from the BIND DNS server.  Further details on BIND can
       be found at http://isc.org/.

INSTALLATION

       If you want access to the names and values for the named performance metrics, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/named

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/named
	       # ./Remove

       pmdanamed is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.	The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
       installed or removed.
