I have some csv files which have varying contents. I want to simply disregard the schema and write the lines of text into one file. Which transformers or technique could I use to achieve this?

Please read the question again carefully. Your answer does not answer the original question. OP wants to do this with FME not an online resource.– DavidPostillCommented Jan 9, 2017 at 14:22

If you want to treat the CSV files as just being text files, then use a text reader to read them (simplest to just use a single dynamic version rather than separate feature readers). The files will be read in and treated just as though they're a normal text file; schema will be ignored.
You can write them out into one single file using a single text writer. The entire workspace should only consist of those two transformers (one dynamic text reader, one text writer).
