Cat files based on file name
Bros,

I have list of files
Code:
20140916_registeredshop.csv
20140916_datavisit.csv
20140915_registeredshop.csv
20140915_datavisit.csv
20140914_registeredshop.csv
20140914_datavisit.csv
20140913_registeredshop.csv
20140913_datavisit.csv
20140912_registeredshop.csv
20140912_datavisit.csv

I want to join those files into 2 seperated files

My expected output
Code:
datavisit.txt

Code:
registeredshop.txt

I did this
Code:
cat 2014*_datavisit* > datavisit.txt

Code:
cat 2014*_registered* > registeredshop.txt
