but in the example given it would be easy to make 3 parts and then add
those together.
cat *.? > test1.mpg
cat *.?? > test2.mpg
cat *.??? > test3.mpg
and finally
cat test?.mpg > test.mpg
should put them all together in sequence with test.mpg as the result.
An alternative method and one I have used is to write a counter loop
that uses a variable numeric counter to just walk the line from 1 to the
last part and cat that piece to the end of the previous part with cat
filename.### >> outputfile where ### is the string representation of the
number then being used. and incrementing it each time through the loop.
the latter method will ensure they are in sequence and does not depend
on the shell ordering to put it right.
