Unix lover: snippet 1.

I love Unix so much... I had this latex file and I wrote the names of the files of the intended chapters to be included in the mainfile. Then I realized that I had to basically write all the filenames or do some crappy copy and paste.

However...

cat <<EOF | sed -e's/\\input{\(.*\)}/\1.tex/' | xargs touch
\input{intro}
\input{cha1}          
\input{cha2} 
\input{cha3}
\input{cha4}  
\input{cha5}
\input{conclusions}
EOF

Is this reading multiple input files in unix at a time?
