work with plink .assoc. linear files

I applied a linear regression in PLINK and I got almost 30 output files of the type .assoc.linear. I need to merge these files into one file and then convert that file into a csv.

Does anyone know how I can do that?

Thanks

PLINK 1.07 or 1.90?

Windows or Linux?

Linux

Remove the headline from your output files, except one (sed '1d' File1.assoc.linear > File1.assoc.linear-NEW) and then use the cat command line (cat *.assoc.linear-New > File-All.txt).

PLINK 1.07 to CSV (space delimited) - Linux

tr -s ' ' <File-All.txt> File-All-Temp1.txt
cut -d ' ' -f 2- File-All-Temp1.txt > File-All.csv #csv delimited by space

PLINK 1.07, Windows
