Trying to cat files - unrecognized wildcard
- by Barb
Hello,
I am trying to create a file that contains all of the code of an app. I have created a file called catlist.txt so that the files are added in the order I need them.
A snippet of my catlist.txt:
app/controllers/application_controller.rb
app/views/layouts/*
app/models/account.rb
app/controllers/accounts_controller.rb
app/views/accounts/*
When I run the command the files that are explicitly listed get added but the wildcard files do not.
cat catlist.txt|xargs cat > fullcode
I get
cat: app/views/layouts/*: No such file or directory
cat: app/views/accounts/*: No such file or directory
Can someone help me with this. If there is an easier method I am open to all suggestions.
