On Unix, cygwin, etc: cat dir/*.txt > output.txt Or if you need "deep" copy: cat $(find dir -name '*.txt') > output.txt You could write a portable solution in Python (as in Martin Laloux's post), but most modern command-line environments have similar (but not identical) support for globbing and redirecting files. If you're getting the glob pattern from a user, they may expect subtly platform-dependent behaviors, in which case portability might not as important as native feel. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
