Got it. The cat command in terminal did the trick. Thanks for the help!

If you don't mind a terminal solution:
Cat file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt ... file16.txt > book.txt

Hi,
Make sure all the txt files are in a folder and in alphabetical order.
Then in the terminal:
- cd to the folder where the txt files are stored
- cat *.txt >> ~/Desktop/combined.txt
- You should now have combined.txt on your desktop.
- Note the path to your desktop is ~/Desktop with a cap D.

First of all, I am assuming that what you want is one large, all-inclusive
file. I’m further assuming that all these files are just simple text file with
no more formating t
I think there’s a way via the terminal app. Just don’t know enough to put it
together.

Herbie,
Okay, then you’re saying that when I unzip, it will come out as a single large
text file? I don’t know how that is accomplished.
