I have a folder with number of subdirectories; each subdirectory has multiple files with .smi extension. I am trying to open content of all of them into one file.
I have tried this:
find ./*/*.smi | xargs xdg-open > one_file
find . | xargs xdg-open > one_file
xdg-open */*.smi > one_file
open **/*.smi > one_file
It seems that I am doing something wrong, can somebody help me?

content of your .smi files are subtitles, so just text ?

Your commands, e.g. [...] xdg-open > one_file will open the files one by one and send the output of xdg-open to one_file.
But I think you first want to merge the files, and then open the merged file.
You can use cat to concatenate text files:
find . -name "*.smi" -exec cat + > one_file.smi
xdg-open one_file.smi
