#!/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.”
