Copy all files together
Hi

imagine that i have some data files like:

Code:
test.20150902
test.20150903
test.20150904





i would like to create one single file automatically (like
Code:
cat test.20150902 test20150903 > output

) in order to copy all files togheter with a time order.

Thanks!

Regards

Do you have so many files matching your pattern that the simple:
Code:
cat test.* > output

won't work?
