Concatenate Several Files to One
Hi All,

Need your help.

I will need to concatenate around 100 files but each end of the file I will need to insert my name DIRT1228 on each of the file and before the next file is added and arrived with just one file for all the 100files.

Appreciate your time.

One way:

Code:
$ for i in *
 do
   cat $i
   echo DIRT1234
 done > outfile

The 100 files have different filenames and content.

sample files:
Code:
Code1.txt
Code2.txt
Code3.txt

Code100.txt

I want to concat all the files but at end of each file i want to place DIRT1228 before the start of the content of the next file.
Sample.
Code1.txt
Code:
Mexico
US
Canada

Code2.txt
Code:
Japan
China
Singapore

Code:
CodeAll.txt
Mexico
US
Canada
DIRT1228
Japan
China
Singapore
DIRT1228

Hope someone can give me code..thanks.

Code tags for code please.

Code:
awk '(NR != FNR) && (FNR==1 ) { print "DIRT1228" } 1' code* > output.txt
