Globs are processed before the file is created. If merged-file already exists, cat mine at least will detect that it's the output file and refuse to read it. IF the file already exists AND you have the redirect later in the pipeline, then it obviously can't do that, so then and only then do you get the runaway file.
The redirection happens in the shell; cat only prints on stdout. Like the other ones from here say Florin Idita Florin Idita 1 1 silver badge 4 4 bronze badges. Note that the string [] won't work as a globbing pattern. Kevdog 3, 18 18 gold badges 39 39 silver badges 61 61 bronze badges.

Making your own text file is simple and requires no coding or programming knowledge. If you have a number of text files spread across your computer it can become a bit inconvenient to keep opening different files to read or edit specific text. What would make things easier is being able to merge a number of text files into one single file.
This makes the text faster to read and search through. Here we list 6 different tools and methods for you to be able to merge or combine multiple text based files into a single file to hopefully make things a little easier. One advantage TXTCollector has over many other tools of this type is its ability to optionally include all the files inside subfolders and not just the main folder when merging.
It also has a text filtering drop down box which can automatically add files of a specific type. After installing TXTCollector, run it and browse for the folder containing your files, optionally include subfolders. All you have to do then is decide what type of separator to use, whether to add a simple line break between each text file or use no separation at all.
Pressing Combine all files will ask you where to save the merged text file and what name to give it. By default, TXTCollector cannot select all files but only files with specific file extensions.
You can also add custom separators by editing the Separators. Download TXTcollector. It is a portable executable but comes as a Zip self extracting executable, so you need to browse for a folder and unzip the Text File Merge program before using it. The other options are for stripping lines from the top of text files or adding line spacing to the bottom. Download Text File Merge. The website and developer of Text File Joiner is no longer around but the program still works and is simple enough to use.
NET Framework 4 is required which will need to be installed on Windows 7 and below operating systems. Press button 1 to select and load the files and then button 2 to choose where to save the text file and what to call it. The order of files can be altered with the up and down buttons.
