I am using cat *.txt to merge multiple txt files into one, but I need each file to be on a separate line.
What is the best way to merge files with each file appearing on a new line?
To append content after you merge multiple files in Linux to another file, use double redirection operator. (>>) along with cat command. Rather than overwriting the contents of the file, this command appends the content at the end of the file.
Overview. We know that we can use the command cat file1 file2 to concatenate multiple files.
Overview. In Unix and Unix-like operating systems (such as Linux), you can use the tar command (short for "tape archiving") to combine multiple files into a single archive file for easy storage and/or distribution.
just use awk
awk 'FNR==1{print ""}1' *.txt
