> cat * > foobar.txt
Note that if you're using csh, the shell will create foobar.txt *before*
expanding the glob, which probably isn't what you want. I believe bash
will expand the glob first, but if foobar.txt happens to already exist,
you'll still be in trouble. You're better off redirecting to a file
outside of your current directory, or choosing a glob that doesn't match
your target file: cat *.txt > bigfile or cat * > ../bigfile
