Here a simple solution for the Z-Shell (since you didn't indicate any preference to a shell, I assume that you are open, which one to use):
Assume that you have parameterized the file extension using an array, for instance
You can now produce a file consisting of the catenation of the individual files by
This assumes that these files all exist, i.e. if one of the files doesn't exist, you get an error message. It is also possible to provide a solution, where non-existing files are siltently skipped, but this is not in the scope of your question.
