Thank you so much Nick!
I am terrible with sed and with pipes, and ended up having two problems
when trying to use this code with sed; I ended up modifying it to the
following:
for f in *.org; do
echo "* $f" >> allofem.org
# cat $f
cat $f | sed 's/^\*/**/' >> allofem.org
done
not as elegant looking as yours, but it worked for me.
very helpful and much appreciated!
