25th of May 2008 I wrote a post about how you could join multiple files that looked something like movie.avi.001, movie.avi.002 and so on. I found a new tool that does the job a bit easier, lxsplit. The syntax of lxsplit is like so:
[jorge@ashitaka ~]$ lxsplit LXSplit v0.2.4 by Richard Stellingwerff, O. Sezer. Home page: http://lxsplit.sourceforge.net/ Usage: lxsplit [OPTION] [FILE] [SPLITSIZE] Available options: -j : join the files beginning with the given name -s : split the given file. requires a valid size Splitsize examples: 15M, 100m, 5000k, 30000000b Examples: lxsplit -s hugefile.bin 15M lxsplit -j hugefile.bin.001
So to join all our files, we execute:
$ lxsplit -j movie.avi.001And it will join all files named movie.avi.00{1,2,3} and so on. :)
