Thanks Don Cragun,
My objective is to have a single column data i.e. <new-line> line terminators on every line with no <carriage-return> as follow:
file1.txt:
Code:
1234
1234
1234

file2.txt:
Code:
aaaa
bbbb
cccc
dddd

Code:
cat file1.txt file2.txt > file3.txt

file3.txt:
Code:
1234
1234
1234
aaaa
bbbb
cccc
dddd

Thanks.
