You should just be able to cat them together:

cat fileaa fileab fileac ... > file

HTH!

Shalom,

Using cat to put them together will probably work.

To be certain, you would need to know how they were split in peices

The split command man page mentions several other utilities that may be helpful in putting the file back together.

See also bfs(1), csplit(1).

As long as you know the sequence in which they were split, you can put them back together using cat(1) i.e. unsplit them.

Thanks for your inputs,
I used the cat command to add the files .
