I have file1.dat,file2.dat...file 300.dat in one directory. I want
to
concatenate all the files in a single file (total.dat) with a
string "END"
separating the file contents.
If you are on Linux (or other *nix variant) you may be better off
using the shell...
for f in *.dat
do
cat $f >> total.dat
echo "END" >> total.dat
done
Will do it for you.
If you are on Windoze then you need to write a batch file and
then execute it within the for loop so I'd just stick with Python
there. (Or install cygwin :-)
