Console does not recognise commands

[predatorlee]

I don't know if it's just me getting the issue with the gunzip and cat* The command is not recognised
I am just testing this out as a new developer. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

What OS/Shell are you running?

Windows 10

The gunzip command is used to unzip ".gz" files in Linux and MacOs (if configured). On Windows, I would recommend 7-Zip as an open source alternative for command line operations.
This article seems to be a pretty good guide to the command line tools for 7Z. (Just remember that the '7z' needs to be replaced with '7za' to make the commands work with Windows.

For combining the text files, I believe "type" works similar to cat for the Windows CMD. ie:
type *.txt > full_list.txt
