Hello,

I would like to know if there is a command (included in a batch) to merge .txt (or other) files into a single file.

Thank you

Narayan

    The simplest way to merge the contents of two ASCII text files:

    File1.txt
    File2.txt

    type *.txt >> file.res

    ren file.res file.txt

    I’m posting this here because every time I need it, I search for this tip and can't find it anywhere!

    But I allow others to read this message, I'm not a rat ;-)

      Hello,

      I don't understand how to use your tip? Could you please explain it in detail? I have txt files in Windows that I need to merge.

      Thank you in advance.

      Apparently you are practicing copy syntax, but still not how to say Hello.

      Obviously your second syntax will work because we didn’t select all files (*), only those starting with 23 (but not 23.txt), and we are not concatenating into a directory but into a file.

      If we apply a syntax like type *.txt>>test.txt while the file test.txt already exists, we will have an additional problem...
