You can Shell out the &quot;COPY&quot; command, which is one way to do it..<br />
<br />
example:<br />
<br />
shell &quot;copy &quot;&nbsp;&amp; file + file + file outputfile<br />
<br />
The only other way that I know of is to read the contents of each file into variables, then write the entire thing out into your output file.

You can Shell out the "COPY" command, which is one way to do it..

example:

shell "copy " & file + file + file outputfile

The only other way that I know of is to read the contents of each file into variables, then write the entire thing out into your output file.

damion69 answers allows for both file copy and insertion of batch header record information as the &quot;treg&quot; variable - interesting solution!<br />

My VB6 program reads one source text file and distributes its records to a number of output text files. &nbsp;The amount and count totals for each output file are computed during this distribution process. <br />
<br />
The totals need to be included in batch header records and the files appended together thus. &nbsp;: &nbsp;Batch header record + file + batch header record + file etc.<br />
<br />
Can this be done with VB6 code without having to read and write individual records from one file to another?<br />
<br />
Is there a Windows command that the program can call that will append one text file to another?<br />

Append files using VB6

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
