How to append files?

084

To append the contents of one file to another in Linux, you can use the cat command with the >> operator. Here’s the syntax:

cat source_file.txt >> target_file.txt

In this example:

  • source_file.txt is the file whose contents you want to append.
  • target_file.txt is the file to which you want to append the contents.

If target_file.txt does not exist, it will be created. If it does exist, the contents of source_file.txt will be added to the end of target_file.txt without overwriting the existing content.

You can also append multiple files at once:

cat file1.txt file2.txt >> target_file.txt

This command will append the contents of both file1.txt and file2.txt to target_file.txt.
