concatenating selected lines of multiple files

Thanks much! That works! I got a new requirement today in addition to that. I have to attach a header to it. I have a file header whose contents (which may vary) I need to prefix to the concatenation. For example:

FileHeader:

Code:
FILES AS OF TODAY:
HEADER LINE1
HEADER LINE2

And the result should be:

Code:
FILES AS OF TODAY:
HEADER LINE1
HEADER LINE2
    START HERE
    line1
    line2
    START HERE
    line111
    line222
    START HERE
    line11
    line22

I can only think of doing this:

Code:
awk 'FNR==1{f=0}/START HERE/{f=1}f' * > concat.txt
cat concat.txt >> FileHeader

Any better way to do this????

irsend - basic LIRC program to send infra-red commands SYNOPSIS
irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...] DESCRIPTION
Asks the lircd daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc. DIRECTIVE can be: SEND_ONCE - send CODE [CODE ...] once SEND_START - start repeating CODE SEND_STOP - stop repeating CODE LIST - list configured remote items SET_TRANSMITTERS - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...] SIMULATE - simulate IR event REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file. CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
