Dear Friends,
I am looking for a shell script to merge input files into one file .. here is my idea:
1st paramter would be outfile file (all input files content)
read all input files and merge them to input param 1
ex: if I pass 6 file names to the script then 1st file name as output file and merge rest of 5 files to 1st file:
cat file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 file6 > file1
i want above to be executed at end but trying to figure out how to read input params and call that cat command at end... the reason becuase input files are dynamic.. some times it could be 4 files, some times 5 and 8 are most input files... so script needs to read all input files and based on the count it needs to issue the cat command at end as per the no of input params..
any information would be greatly appriciated.
