How to put togethe files (split)

[Danny Trieu]

Hi there,

I slitted a big file to several smaller one by using the command "split"
And now I need to put together the files the orginal. Is that any command to do it?

Please advice!
Cheers

Hi Danny,

You could do the following, saw you have 3 files and want to merge the 3 back into a file called newfile then this command would do it for you.

cat file1 file2 file3 >> newfile

HTH,

Suppose you did:

cd /tmp
split /vmunix splt.

Then reconstructing vmunix can be done as below:

for i in split.*
>do
>cat $i >> vmunix
>done
