I have many folders/subfolders with text files in them.
Is there any way to iterate all of the subfolders and join all the files into a single large file?
linux files cat

One simple way:
find /top/level/subdir -type f -exec cat + > output
Or using bash features:
shopt -s globstar
cat subdir/** > output 2>/dev/null
The 2>/dev/null redirection drops the complaints about bash trying to cat directories.
