Product Description:

Catenator is a very simple drag & drop AppleScript that uses the unix 'cat' command to 'concatenate' (aka join) your files together.


Before the files are catenated they are sorted alphabetically by PATH (not just the name). Also keep in mind that alphabetical order may be slightly different than 'sort by name' order in the Finder. For example Apple sorts like this:

  • file 2
  • file 03
  • file1

But ascending alphabetical order (due to spaces, and the zero) would be like so:

  • file 03
  • file 2
  • file1

AppleScript source included.

What's new in this version:

  • checks file types before catenating (to make sure it's not trying to catenate a folder).
  • suggests an output name based on drag & dropped files.

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9

tried Split n Concat and MacHacha, and they couldn't join my files. Catenator did it without a hitch.

it does one thing only folks, what kind of features are you asking for?
it does let you choose the file name prior to joining the files.
