Question recursively concatenate files in subdirectories with same folder name
I'm trying to concatenate files in subdirectories with the same folder name. Say concatenate all the files in the 'current' subdirectories in 'Literature' parent directory.
Literature/USA/current/
Literature/Europe/current/

Can anyone help with it? Thanks a lot!

Code:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec cat {} >> /tmp/concat-files \;

Are you looking for the above ? Else explain the requirement more clearly.

This command concatenate all the files in the parent folder. I'd like to only concatenate files in the subdirectories with the same name. i.e. USA (and Europe) has subdirectories ancient and current. I'd concatenate files in the current folders in Literature parent folder.
