I have a file called header.txt I want this file to be prepended (first line) to all *.txt files in the same directory.

How could I achieve this?

Thanks in advance,
Joe

I solved your second question in the previous thread, so I'm not going to write you a solution for this, unless it really is a new question. It's not hard but still a little more complicated, especially if header.txt contains multiple lines.

you can just use the >> redirection operator, the type command.

Code: Select all

type file >> header.txt
