concatenate files using CAT

Comment:

Hi there, I use cat *.txt > junk.lst to concatenate all the txt file in current directory into a big file called junk.lst for later processing, my problem is that for each txt file, I want to delete the very first line (recorder) before they are put together. Is there any way to do that? Thanks Johnston

A small for loop using sed could be the answer. You could do something like ... rm junk.txt for i in *.txt do sed -e '1d' $i >> junk.txt done
