|  | 21 <p>JoinTextFiles.pl - Join multiple CSV or TSV text files into a single text file</p> | 
|  | 22 <p> | 
|  | 23 </p> |

|  | 25 <p>JoinTextFiles.pl TextFiles...</p> | 
|  | 26 <p>JoinTextFiles.pl  [<strong>-f, --fast</strong>] [<strong>-h, --help</strong>] [<strong>--indelim</strong> comma | semicolon] | 
|  | 27 [<strong>-l, --label</strong> yes | no] [<strong>-o, --overwrite</strong>] [<strong>--outdelim</strong> comma | tab | semicolon] |

|  | 29 <p> | 
|  | 30 </p> | 
|  | 31 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> | 
|  | 32 <p>Multiple CSV or TSV <em>TextFiles</em> are joined to generate a single text file. The | 
|  | 33 file names are separated by spaces. The valid file extensions are <em>.csv</em> and <em>.tsv</em> | 
|  | 34 for comma/semicolon and tab delimited text files respectively. All other file names | 
|  | 35 are ignored. All the text files in a current directory can be specified by <em>*.csv</em>, | 
|  | 36 <em>*.tsv</em>, or the current directory name. The <strong>--indelim</strong> option determines the | 
|  | 37 format of <em>TextFiles</em>. Any file which doesn't correspond to the format indicated | 
|  | 38 by <strong>--indelim</strong> option is ignored.</p> | 
|  | 39 <p> | 
|  | 40 </p> |

|  | 46 input and output file(s) are assumed to be similar. And the text lines from <em>TextFiles</em> | 
|  | 47 are simply transferred to output file without any processing.</p> |

|  | 75 no</em>. Default value: <em>yes</em>.</p> | 
|  | 76 </dd> | 
|  | 77 <dt><strong><strong>-r, --root</strong> <em>rootname</em></strong></dt> | 
|  | 78 <dd> | 
|  | 79 <p>New text file name is generated using the root: <Root>.<Ext>. Default file | 
|  | 80 name: <FirstTextFileName>1To<Count>Joined.<Ext>. The csv, and tsv | 
|  | 81 <Ext> values are used for comma/semicolon, and tab delimited text files | 
|  | 82 respectively.</p> |
