Your question is very vague, but I came up with this:<\/p>\n

These are my assumptions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The “values” in each line of the text file are separated by whitespace<\/li>\n
  2. The output file will contain values in the order in which the files they are contained in were passed in. So, if the function’s params were f1<\/code>, f2<\/code>, f3<\/code> and outfilepath<\/code>, then the values in f1<\/code> appear first in outfilepath<\/code> and the values in f2<\/code> appear second in outfilepath<\/code>, etc<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here is a function that does what you want under these assumptions: <\/p>\n

    def readwrite(infilepaths, outfilepath):\n    with open(outfilepath, 'w') as outfile:\n        outfile.write(threeLinesOfHeader + '\\n')\n        for infilepath in infilepaths:\n            with open(infilepath) as infile:\n                skipLines = 4\n                for _ in range(skipLines):\n                    infile.readline()\n                values = itertools.chain.from_iterable(line.strip().split() for line in infile)\n                outfile.write('\\n'.join(values) + '\\n')\n    print 'done'\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Hope this helps<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
