I have a folder containing files named "1.txt" all the way up to "10.txt". How do I concatenated these files in numerical order so that 10.txt is concatenated last?

  • As an aside, if you created the files using `split` in the first place, it would ensure that lexicographical order will do the right thing. – o11c Aug 08 '18 at 20:11

This can be done easily with brace expansion:

cat {1..10}.txt > output
