Hi,

The syntax for the combining.executable is correct and it would not put the data from infile3 in front of the infile2 in outfile2. The excitable will add columns from infile3 to the end of outfile1. I've used the syntax to illustrate that the outcome of one command should be the input for the other.

I'm sorry, but your interpretation of the commands is not correct. We do not need to keep outfile1 through outfile6000, we just need outfile1 to be input for the executable in order to generate outfile2, then outfile1 can be deleted. Outfile2 will be the input for the executable to generate outfile3. Then outfile2 can be deleted and outfile3 can be used as input to generate outfile4, etc.

I may not need a master file or the loop, it was just the way I tried to solve the problem. But it does not necessarily have to be the case. The point is that I need to run a program (executable) where the output of step1 is the input of step2, and the output of step2 is the input for step 3, etc.

The format of my input files is text. They are the only ones in the folder.
The name of the output files does not matter.

INPUT(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     INPUT(1)

NAME

       input - Yagi-Uda project antenna defining program

SYNOPSIS

       input [ - h ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  program  input  is  one  of  a  number of executable programs that forms part of a set of programs, collectively known as the Yagi-Uda
       project , which were designed for analysis and optimisation of Yagi-Uda antennas.  input is an interactive program, that asks the user  for
       information  about a Yagi design, such as position of elements, spacing between elements, frequency span of interest and a filename to save
       the data to.  input then writes this information into an ASCII file, which can be read by yagi or optimise The file is ASCII and it's  for-
       mat is easily understood by inspection (there are comments printed in it), so it can if necessary be edited manually.

       After  running  input and specifying a filename (for example 144e10) you should then type yagi 144e10 and then output 144e10 and optionally
       optimise 144e10

OPTIONS

       -h     Print a help message.

FILES

       filename         ASCII data file in which design is put.

PLATFORMS

       Both DOS and Unix versions have been built. The DOS version as distributed requires a 386 PC with a 387 maths coprocessor.

       Bugs should be reported to
       david.kirkby@onetel.net.
       Bugs tend actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in your interest to report them in such a way  that  they  can  be  easily
       reproduced.

       If  a  mistake is made during inputting of data (such as entering an incorrect length), it is not possible to go back and correct this. You
       should make a note of the error, and edit the ASCII text file with a text editor (vi, DOS edit etc).
