Thanks that was exactly what I needed for the loop.

Code:

for i in {01..31}; do cat Cut_{1..6}${i}.txt > output_$i.txt; done

Is it possible to include several Awak command to have the cat ordered with the files every 5000 lines in the same loop in the same spirit as :

Code:

for i in {01..31}; do
awk 'NR==1{system("cat Cut_1$i.txt")}1' Fichier_Base.txt >   Fichier_Base_1.txt;
awk 'NR==5001{system("cat Cut_2$i.txt")}1' Fichier_Base_1.txt > Fichier_Base_2.txt;
...
awk 'NR==30001{system("cat Cut_7$i.txt")}1' Fichier_Base_6.txt > Statique_6oc_Cut_$i.txt;
rm Fichier_Base_{1..6};

Thanks for the

Code:

bash -vx

command it will greatly help me in my future script, I started using Unix 1 month ago only.
