cat files from subdirectories output using same filename
Hi,
I need to concatenate data files with a .mp extension that are stored in directories by year. I want to keep the same filename as an output for example:
for the file name p030.mp, which resides in the following subdirectories:
/2000/p030.mp
/2001/p030.mp
/2002/p030.mp
I want to:
concatenate p030.mp for 2000-2002 and output the concatenated file in a new directory, say:
/ifeeldumb/p030.mp
I can get this to work for a single file:
cat /2000/p030.mp /2001/p030.mp /2002/p030.mp > p030.mp
but I get lost when I try to put it in a loop and extract individual filenames for use with output names.
any help would be greatly appreciated, THANKS!!!!
