Provided the length of your files is not going to cause memory
problems, something like the script below will create a concatenated
file in the same folder as the joined files (your Documents folder).
Otherwise a more elaborate routine is required.
-- Change << to opt-\ ; change >> to opt-shift-\
set basepath_ to "" & (path to <<constant afdrdocs>>) -- see NOTE ABOVE
set shortfiles_ to {"a.txt", "b.txt", "c.txt"}
set longfile_ to basepath_ & "concat.txt"
set filelist_ to {}
repeat with f in shortfiles_
set end of filelist_ to basepath_ & f
end repeat
open for access file longfile_ with write permission
set eof file longfile_ to 0
repeat with f in filelist_
open for access file f
try
set chunk_ to read file f
on error
close access file f
exit repeat
end try
close access file f
write chunk_ to file longfile_
end repeat
close access file longfile_
-- read file longfile_
-- JD
