Concatenating Files that Live in Different Folders

Concatenating Files that Live in Different Folders

[TH]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 971 bytes --]

I have three html files in each of three sub folders...

parent/child1/index.html
parent/child2/index.html
parent/child3/index.html

Can I run PanDoc in the Parent folder in a way that it will concatenate all 
of those html files?

I want to avoid moving the target html files around as I'm trying to make a 
single PDF from multiple htmls and images that are in a bunch of child 
folders.

Thanks!

--As for the rest, it is mine.

It should be as simple as:
pandoc [options] parent/child2/index.html parent/child1/index.html 
parent/child3/index.html

Where you put any options you need in instead of `[options]`.

Hey thanks I just tried this. pandoc gave me this type of error over and 
over...

Could not find image `205292028-job_summary_info.png', skipping...

The images are all in those children folders. The only option I used was...

-o levo.pdf

Pandoc essentially just concatenates the contents of the
files you specify as arguments; any information about where
they are situated is lost before the parser gets to them.

You could always do something like:

    for f in child*/*.{png,jpg}; do ln -s $f .; done

and then run the command.  After you're done you can delete
the symlinks.
