How to combine numerous text files into one file.
Is there a way to combine numerous text files (200+) into one without having to type the title of each file? Is there an application to do this for Mac?

In the Terminal, change directory to the folder in which only those text files reside. Then, concatenate all 200 text files in alphabetical order into one text file on your Desktop.
cat *.txt >> ~/Desktop/combined.txt
and if you are certain that there are only text files in this location, whether with, or without the .txt extension, then you can abbreviate the command further:
cat * >> ~/Desktop/combined.txt
