Full Discussion: Merge the multiple text files into one file
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Merge the multiple text files into one file Post 302828109 by MadeInGermany on Monday 1st of July 2013 06:40:00 PM

It seems more logical to write a new file, not append to a file
Code:
cat /home/Temp/Test/Log/*.txt > all.txt

all.txt is the concatenation of all /home/Temp/Test/Log/*.txt files in alphabetical order.
If you think that all.txt is okay, you can add the file deletions like this
Code:
cat /home/Temp/Test/Log/*.txt > all.txt &&
rm -f /home/Temp/Test/Log/*.txt

flow-merge

flow-merge(1)						      General Commands Manual						     flow-merge(1)

NAME

       flow-merge -- Merge flow files.

SYNOPSIS

       flow-merge [-aghm]  [-b big|little]  [-C comment]  [-d debug_level]  [-o filename]  [-z z_level]  [file|directory ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  flow-merge	utility processes files and/or directories of files in the flow-tools format.  The resulting merged data set is written to
       the standard output or file specified by -o.  If file is a single dash (`-') or absent, flow-merge  will  read  from  the  standard  input.
       Unlike flow-cat, flow-merge interleaves flow records preserving the relative chronological order.

OPTIONS

       -a	 Do not ignore filenames that begin with tmp.

       -b big|little
		 Byte order of output.

       -C Comment
		 Add a comment.

       -d debug_level
		 Enable debugging.

       -g	 Sort file list by capture start time before processing.

       -h	 Display help.

       -m	 Disable the use of mmap().

       -p	 Preload headers.  Use to preserve meta information such as lost flows.

       -o file	 Write to file instead of the standard out.

       -z z_level
		 Configure compression level to  z_level.  0 is disabled (no compression), 9 is highest compression.

       file|directory...
		 Process the files and/or directory.

EXAMPLES

       Merge all flow files begining with ft-v05.2001-05.01, use flow-print to display the results.

	   flow-merge ft-v05.2001-05-01.* | flow-print

BUGS

       None known.
