Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

My requirement is search for the flat files in the location that are generated in a day and merge them into a single flat file.

In the merged file as well particular column value should go into particular column.

Code:

awk 'NR=1 FNR>1' $(ls -rt flatfile1_v_*)

when i use this command for merging the flat files into a single file. header is coming two times in a merged file, but i wanted it only once what i need to do here....

Example:

Flat file1:

Code:

column1|column2|column3
1|2|3
4||4

Flatfile2:

Code:

column1|column2|column3
4|5|6
1|1|

Mergedfile:

Code:

column1|column2|column3
1|2|3
4||4 
4|5|6
1|1|

Please reply to me at the earliest..
