As I understand it, I could use
find . -name '*.txt' -exec cat {} ; > all.txt
to concatenate all the text files in a directory, recursively throughout sub-directories, into a file called all.txt
. The thing is, I don't have enough storage for all.txt
and the original files. Is there a way to execute two commands, one after the other, so that I could delete the original file after concatenating it with all.txt
?
bash shell find cat exec
