Re: Output the contents of an IFS directory to a flat file

Do you mean you want to put the contents of all the stream files on the IFS into one stream file also on the IFS (that's what I assume you mean by "flat file")? If so, then it is easy from qshell:

cat file1 file2 file3 file4 .... > resultfile 

I forgot to mention an easier approach:

cat * > resultfile

will work if all the files are in the current directory. Of course any regex substitution will work as well. Or use 'find' if they are spread around your filesystem.
