[sclug] Redirecting Tail to a file preserving end of lines

[Sapan Ganguly]

Hello, how are you all?

I've been scratching my head over this one for the past hour or two,
how do I take the last line of a bunch of files and put them into a
new file?  This is what I have been trying -

# tail --lines=1 --silent *.csv >> newfile

For some reason the end of lines aren't preserved, newfile ends up
being one really long line.

I've tried a few other ways but I get the same result.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Sapan
