The "ogdir" and "logdir" is just a misplaced code tag.
We definitely need to see a reasonable sample of the directory tree and contents. Also, what you expect "concatonate" to do in the context of your files in your directory tree?
This is not so much about correcting some script you found in a post on the Internet, but about finding a solution to your problem in your environment.
The script posted has many design flaws were it to be used as a general tool. It was posted by cfajohnson in response to a specific post a month ago.
I assume you have bash because this line is a syntax error in my unix Posix shells:
One of the more obvious issues is that it canot be run twice or you could end up with all your ".txt" files deleted (including the concatonated one). There is no way to unconcatonate after this script has been run once.

The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
