|  | 33 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> | 
|  | 34 <p>Merge multiple CSV or TSV <em>TextFiles</em> into first <em>TextFile</em> to generate a single | 
|  | 35 text file. Unless <strong>-k --keys</strong> option is used, data rows from other <em>TextFiles</em> | 
|  | 36 are added to first <em>TextFile</em> in a sequential order, and the number of rows in first | 
|  | 37 <em>TextFile</em> is used to determine how many rows of data are added from other | 
|  | 38 <em>TextFiles</em>.</p> | 
|  | 39 <p>Multiple <em>TextFiles</em> names are separated by space. The valid file extensions are <em>.csv</em> and | 
|  | 40 <em>.tsv</em> for comma/semicolon and tab delimited text files respectively. All other file names | 
|  | 41 are ignored. All the text files in a current directory can be specified by <em>*.csv</em>, | 
|  | 42 <em>*.tsv</em>, or the current directory name. The <strong>--indelim</strong> option determines the | 
|  | 43 format of <em>TextFiles</em>. Any file which doesn't correspond to the format indicated | 
|  | 44 by <strong>--indelim</strong> option is ignored.</p> | 
|  | 45 <p> |
