Hello everyone, I have 3000 documents with me. I want to combine the content of those 3000 documents in one single document. I used 

cat *.html > Combined_Text.txt

command to do the process. But, I would like to have the data of one document per line in the Combined_Text.txt which means I should just be having 3000 lines of content (one document per line). How to do it? Please help!

The following command will remove new lines from every html and then append the files to each other in Combined_Text.txt.

 for f in *.html; do cat $f | tr -d '\n' >> Combined_Text.txt; echo "" >> Combined_Text.txt; done;

That second echo seems to inelegant, I'm sure there is a better way to put the files on their own lines, but it does the job.
