zazzybob!
Your answer (found via Google search) is a great help to me, thanks.
$ cd /path/to/files
$ files=*
$ cat $files > bigfile
I modified it like that:
$ cd /path/to/files
$ files=*.txt
$ cat $files > bigfile.txt
How could I insert in front of the content of each file some special string, like many dashes, and / or the given file's name?
So, the bigfile.txt looked like this:
********* file1.txt
content of file1
********* file2.txt
content of file2
********* file3.txt
content of file3
...
...
etc
Thanks a lot,
Tamas
(I use Kubuntu, by the way)

Hi,
I would like a shell script that reads all files in a directory and concatenate them. It is not a simple concatenation. The first few lines of the files should not be included.

phar.interceptfilefuncs
PHAR.INTERCEPTFILEFUNCS(3) 1 PHAR.INTERCEPTFILEFUNCS(3)
Phar::interceptFileFuncs - instructs phar to intercept fopen, file_get_contents, opendir, and all of the stat-related functions
SYNOPSIS
finalpublicstatic void Phar::interceptFileFuncs (void )
DESCRIPTION
instructs phar to intercept fopen(3), readfile(3), file_get_contents(3), opendir(3), and all of the stat-related functions. If any of
these functions is called from within a phar archive with a relative path, the call is modified to access a file within the phar archive.
Absolute paths are assumed to be attempts to load external files from the filesystem.
This function makes it possible to run PHP applications designed to run off of a hard disk as a phar application.
PARAMETERS
No parameters.
RETURN VALUES
EXAMPLES
Example #1
A Phar.interceptFileFuncs(3) example
<?php
Phar::interceptFileFuncs();
include 'phar://' . __FILE__ . '/file.php';
?>
Assuming that this phar is at /path/to/myphar.phar and it contains file.php and file2.txt, if file.php contains this code:
Example #2
A Phar.interceptFileFuncs(3) example
<?php
echo file_get_contents('file2.txt');
?>
Normally PHP would search the current directory for file2.txt, which would translate as the directory of file.php, or the current direc-
tory of a command-line user. Phar.interceptFileFuncs(3) instructs PHP to consider the current directory to be phar:///path/to/myphar.phar/
and so opens phar:///path/to/myphar.phar/file2.txt in the above example code.
