How to concatenate the files based upon the file name?
Hi Experts,

I am trying to merge multiple files into one file based upon the file name.

Code:
 
Testreport_Server1.txt         ============
MonitoringReport_Server1.txt============  CentralReport_Server1

Here two files containing server1 should be merged into one file?

How can i do this using shell. I was thinking something like below but not working

Code:
 
cat $DR_HOME/OS/Server1*.txt >> Central_Report_Server1

Are you able to list the files ending with Server1.txt using below command?

Code:
ls $DR_HOME/OS/*Server1.txt

Is the variable DR_HOME set to correct value?
Is OS a subdirectory?

Hello,

Could you please use the followinf script to get your desired Output.
Lets say appending_file.ksh is the script name and path where files are present /home/user/bin/singh_testing/awk_programming/testing_appending_file_date.


Our script is in /home/user/bin/singh_testing/awk_programming.

Code:
 
$ cat appending_file.ksh
cd /home/archsupp/bin/singh_testing/awk_programming/testing_appending_file_date

if [[ -e test ]]
then
> test
fi

value=`ls -ltr | awk '{print $9}'| grep -v "test"`
set -A array_value $value

for i in ${array_value[@]}
do
cd /home/archsupp/bin/singh_testing/awk_programming/testing_appending_file_date
cat $i >> test

echo "**************************" >> test

done
echo "Script has been completed now."
$



Output wil be stored at /home/archsupp/bin/singh_testing/awk_programming/testing_appending_file_date in test file.

Code:
$ cat test
this is first test file.
As per requirement.
**************************
This is the second file.
As per the R. Singh
lets see the appending process here.
**************************
$


So you can change the path value in script and try the same it should work properly.


Thanks,
R. Singh
