Folks,
I have about 600 small files that I am trying to turn into one big
file.
There is a 'mainfolder' Inside there are 45 'subfolders' Inside each
'subfolder' are 10 to 20 files
I want all of them merged into a single big file.
In a previous life I think I could have done this from the command
line, but alas, it appears that I have slept to many times since then.
TIA, Ted
Missed the first message in this thread, but if you do something
like:
# cat mainfolder/*/* | bbedit
you will get one big file opened in bbedit.
Note that will only pick up files in subfolders; it if there
were files in mainfolder too, you could use "cat mainfolder/*
mainfolder/*/* | bbedit".
