Appending Files Together

Problem

You want to append the contents of several files to a single file. For example you want the contents of the file foo.txt to be the contents of bar.txt and baz.txt. In the UNIX shell you might write:

cat bar.txt baz.txt > foo.txt

Solution

The function file-append does the job:

(require (lib "port.ss"))

;; file-append : (U path string) ... -> void
;;
;; Copys the contents of the src files to dest
(define (file-append dest . src)
  )

input-port-append and copy-port are your friends.

To be completed
