Bash - Combine list of text files (too long), adding newline separator in between

To combine a list of text files in a bash script, you can use cat command along with echo to add newline separators between the contents of each file. Here's a script to achieve this:

#!/bin/bash # Set the directory containing the text files directory="path/to/your/text/files" # Combine files with newline separators cat "$directory"/*.txt | awk 'NR>1{print ""}1'

Replace "path/to/your/text/files" with the actual path to the directory containing your text files. This script will concatenate all .txt files in that directory, inserting a newline between each file's contents.
