Attached is a screen shot of how i am doing it but it is not working
Hey
Can you be more specific by what you mean by "not working?"
I feel compelled to ask: is there any particular reason you're shelling out to cat
to do this? Why not just concatenate those files yourself? If nothing else, it'd remove the need for platform-specific code.
As for why it doesn't work, it's because you passed the glob to cat
. On UNIX, programs are not responsible for handling globbing, the shell is. If you're going to do this (and please don't), you need to run cat
inside a shell.
