[nflug] merge two mail files

[Robert Meyer]

How about everybody's good friend 'cat'?

cat file1 file2 > file3

creates a new file 'file3' with the contents of  'file1' and 'file2' concatenated or

cat file1 >> file2

Appends 'file1' to the end of  'file2'.

I'm sure that we'll see perl, ruby, php and a whole host of other solutions.  The more complicated the better.  If you can't think of at least 3 ways to do something in Unix/Linux, you're not thinking hard enough.

Cheers!

Bob

Hi :)  I want to merge two mail files nicely, I don't care which is 
appending to which.  Can some jog my memory on how to do this simple
 task?
Thank you very much... oh the files are 8mb and 3mb in size if that
 matters.
Thanks again,
Eric
