Combine text files into one.

Question

Hello,
I successfully copied several files into a single text file using DOS:

copy *.txt > récup.txt

Is there a way to have a "separator for each added file" in the final file?

I hope I was clear enough..
THANK YOU

for %%FIC in "*.txt" do ( echo %%FIC ; echo %%FIC%% ) > fichier.txt

Hello,

copy *.txt > récup.txt

you could also do copy fich1 + Fich2 + Fich3 > Recup.txt

this way, all the end-of-file marks (Ctrl+Z) are copied at the same time

and you could use this end-of-file mark. The /a switch allows that.

Otherwise, you need to create a BAT or cmd file that contains your copy command and also the integration of the separator you have chosen.

Xcopy does not allow this.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you for your answers but..  @jeannets --> I have more than 200 fics to merge That's why I'm adding *.txt It seems to be working but I don't see a separator..  @alhuno --> How to use the command?

jeannets · Answer

The separator is not visible with Notepad; it needs to be viewed with a hexadecimal editor... it's 03 for ETX or 04 for EOF (end of File)

There is also 0A0D which are LF and CR (line Feed and Carriage Return) but it can also exist at every line break in the text.

These characters may very well not exist depending on the source of the files..

With the pure DOS editor "Edlin", this character is created by pressing Ctrl+z
