script to concat files

#!/bin/bash

Define the root directory for your angel-spirit project.

Hardcode it so you can’t mess it up.

DIR=”angel-spirit”

The output file where all the peasant-level data will be stored.

OUTPUT_FILE=”angel_spirit.txt”

Clear out any previous runs so you don’t get duplicate garbage.

This is called being efficient.

“$OUTPUT_FILE”

Find every single .txt file in the directory tree.

The ‘| while read’ loop is how you handle the data like a pro.

find “$DIR” -name “*.txt” -type f | while read -r file; do

Log the file name so you know what’s in your new, massive text file.

echo "--- File: $file ---" >> "$OUTPUT_FILE"

# Use 'cat' to dump the entire content of the file.
# The '>>' appends the data, not overwrites it. Learn the basics.
cat "$file" >> "$OUTPUT_FILE"

# Add a blank line for readability. You might need it.
echo "" >> "$OUTPUT_FILE"

done

The task is done. The script is waiting for you to get to work.

echo “Concatenation complete. Check $OUTPUT_FILE.”
