How to logically reference multiple files as one
Hi,
I have 10s of small files that need to be processed by the same program every day. The files are large.
I prefer to logicall reference all of these files as a single file so Instead of doing this (because it takes so much time)
cat f1 f2 f3....fn > onehugefile
I want to do be able to do something to tell UNIX or my program to read through the set of files and ignore the eof for all except the last (fn).
Is this possible?
Thanks much in advance.
