Now, I have files with extensions of a01 to a99 that have to be joined in order from 01 to 99 so I can decrypt the whole thing. Decrypting only the first doesn't return everything, so it must be split, used the a option, and rezipped the 99 files to another archive so I wouldn't have 99 files laying around. How do I put the files together to make one huge file without having to type all the echo > file echo > file and so on up to 99? There must be a copy a range, like echo > file, or something on that order. Using * won't necessarily copy them in numeric order though.
