File Watcher - Merging files into a single file with linux command
Answered
I'm trying to setup a File Watcher, what i want to accomplish is merging all js files from a directory in a single file places in the parent dir.
Linux command line it would be a:
cat * > ../merge.js
So i've tried the following setup:

But for some reason it is not working. there is just an error output stating "cat: * : file not found".
It puzzles me even more, that if i use a simple "ls" without arguments the correct files are listed and written to output file
