You can do this via the command line using the type command... <br />
<br />
Type c:\file1.txt &gt;&gt;&nbsp;c:\biggerfile.txt<br />
Type c:\file2.txt &gt;&gt;&nbsp;c:\biggerfile.txt<br />
<br />
Remember to put &quot;&quot;&nbsp;round the file name if there are spaces.<br />
<br />
Thanks

You can do this via the command line using the type command...

Type c:\file1.txt >> c:\biggerfile.txt
Type c:\file2.txt >> c:\biggerfile.txt

Remember to put "" round the file name if there are spaces.

Thanks

Copy should be fine as has already been suggested or you can use a single type line too, though I suspect this would be slower.<br />
<br />
type c:\source\*.txt &gt;&nbsp;c:\dest\allfile.txt<br />
<br />
or<br />
cd /d c:\source<br />
type file1.txt file2.txt &gt;&nbsp;c:\dest\allfile.txt<br />

type c:\source\*.txt > c:\dest\allfile.txt

or
cd /d c:\source
type file1.txt file2.txt > c:\dest\allfile.txt

joining large text files

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
