That didnt work out, I got the following when I tried to run it : 

cat: 2,0,0,1,1,4,1,18,2,0,2,1,1,0,: No such file or directory
cat: append.csv: input file is output file
cat: 2,0,0,1,1,3,1,10,2,0,2,1,1,0,: No such file or directory
cat: append.csv: input file is output file
cat: Just: No such file or directory
cat: helps: No such file or directory
cat: to: No such file or directory
cat: keep: No such file or directory
cat: in: No such file or directory
cat: touch: No such file or directory
cat: with: No such file or directory
cat: old: No such file or directory
cat: friends: No such file or directory
cat: that: No such file or directory
cat: aren\'t: No such file or directory
cat: at: No such file or directory
cat: the: No such file or directory
cat: same: No such file or directory
cat: college.1,0,0,1,1,2,1,7,2,0,2,0,1,0,: No such file or directory
cat: append.csv: input file is output file
cat: Interacting: No such file or directory

and so on and so forth for each file...it seems to hit the short answer and 
then try to process it as a file name?
