concating files together

[D at vid lacravate]

Hi ,

En ce jour du Fri, 23 May 2003 14:46:27 +0100,
Boyle Bernadette <B.Boyle at gcal.ac.uk> parlait ainsi :
> Can anyone tell me id there is a Perl command to concat files into one. 
> more /var/log/maillog* > /tmp/output
I am not namely from Belfast so i hope my answering to you won't be seen as some st(om|ep)ping in ...

Now for your question :
It depends what you want to do ... Is it in a script , and then you don't need to be concise , or is it from the command line and then :
perl -ne'open W,"outputfile";print W $_ for @ARGV;close W;' file1 file2 file3...

Would probably do...

HTH.
