What have you tried so far? Does it have to be in perl? Sounds like a simple shell script should suffice.

Yeah something like: `if [ -s $FILE1 -a -s $FILE2 ] then cat $FILE1 $FILE2 >$NEWFILE && rm $FILE1 $FILE2 fi` [download] would seem to suffice by the description. /J\	[reply] [d/l]

I agree. Right from the shell prompt: `test -f file1 && test -f file2 && cat file1 file2` [download] If the files are huge, pipe it through gzip or tar or something. -- "This alcoholism thing, I think it's just clever propaganda produced by people who want you to buy more bottled water." -- pedestrianwolf	[reply] [d/l]
