Does anyone know of an Applescript equivalent to the UNIX cat command?
I want to join several MP3 into one larger file. I curently do a "do
shell script" coomand which calls a bash shell script file cat the
files together.
Cool, I didn't know you could combine MP3s that way.
is there a Finder equivalent to the cat command??
Nope.
opening the data file for reading, then writing it to the new data
file, and then looping thru the rest of the data files would work,
but it would be slower then just calling the UNIX shell script which
uses cat.
Yep, and that's all AppleScript knows.
So just keep using the shell. :)
