I need it to read as
txt0.txt
txt1.txt
txt2.txt
txt3.txt
Instead its taking all the files and taking the information within each txt file and putting them all together.

It sounds like cat is working exactly as it should. It concatenates files.
I am guessing that you want allfiles.txt to contain the filenames, not the contents of those files. There are a number of ways to do that. Here is one:
Code:
ls txt*.txt > allfiles.txt
Replace txt*.txt with the appropriate file specification for the file list you require.
