Dear Scripters, I'd like to concatenate a bunch of files in a directory, in sequential order. Since the files' names start with the same characters, and end in dates, I can get a nice, ordered file list from the ls command. What I'd like to do is to pipe this file list to cat in such a way that it will concatenate the files, not just the names. The filenames look like this: notes-20080401, notes-20080402, notes-20080403, notes-20080404, notes-20080405, etc. And what I'd like to do is something like this: ls notes-* | [??] | cat > notes The [??] is the part I can't figure out.
