Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting concat 6 files in 1 file ( maybe use AWK?) Post 302235672 by lamano on Friday 12th of September 2008 11:56:08 AM

Sorry I am not sure of fully understanding what you are trying to achieve. Is is about concatenating the 6 files in one? can you not use cat file1 >> OutputFile and then cat file2 >> OutputFile and so on?

As per the common key, you mean there is a field content that is shared by all the files? Can you provide a shorter example (just 2 or 3 files) with some contents and the expected output file? Like:

File1
xxxxxxxxxx

File2
xxxxxxxxxx

Output File
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you want to extract the first field from your files using awk then you can do

cat theFile | awk -F, '{print $1}'

but I am not sure if that's what you are looking for.
