Bash Shell Script to merge two files

I can do this in a Windows batch file.  I scripted it without testing so you can have an idea. However, it should work as is. If you need further help from me, let me know.

FOR /F "usebackq skip=10 tokens=*" %%A in ("C:\path\file B.txt") DO ECHO %%A>>"C:\path\file A.txt"

In a simple DOS command line, change %% by %

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

Hi 07592161981m,

Judging by your topic areas, it looks as if you want a Linux shell script.

    head logfileB >>logfileA
    sed -i '1,10d' logfileB

You may run into problems if the files are being written to at the time the above commands are run, though.

Good thinking, simon!

For some strange reason, i thought 07592161981m wanted to:
    "delete the starting 10 lines from logfileB"
so they are removed from it,
    "and attached it" (i.e. those 10 lines) "to bottom of logfile A".

I hope the spec's are less ambiguous next time, so experts don't waste time going down the wrong track.
