hello,
I would appreciate a little assistance with a process I'm trying to automate. I have several files that are zipped in central location, all follow the same naming conventions i.e (file 1, file 2, etc). what i would like to do is unzip the files and combined them into one file, basically add the 2nd file to the end of the first file, and 3rd file to the end of the 2nd one and so on and so on until all the files in the folder are added. i'd like to output the data into one file. I would like to use AWK to do this but i have no idea where to start, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
