Re: [O] refile whole files as headings?

[Matt Price]

Thank you so much Nick!

I am terrible with sed and with pipes, and ended up having two problems when trying to use this code with sed; I ended up modifying it to the following:

for f in *.org; do
    echo "* $f" >> allofem.org
    # cat $f
    cat $f | sed 's/^\*/**/' >> allofem.org
done

not as elegant looking as yours, but it worked for me.

very helpful and much appreciated!

A shell script:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
cd Assignments
for f in *.org; do
  echo "* $f"
  cat $f
done > Assignments.org
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you need to change the levels of the headings in the files,
use a sed script instead of cat:

   sed '/^\*/s/&/**/' $f
