read 2 text files and write to the 3rd one
I have 2 text files:
TextFile1.txt contains only one entry
TextFile2.txt contains multiple entries, unknown number
I would like a script (I am open to the most feasible suggestions) that will write in TextFile3.txt as follows:
TextFile_1_Entry1 TextFile2_Entry_1
TextFile_1_Entry1 TextFile2_Entry_2
TextFile_1_Entry1 TextFile2_Entry_3
TextFile_1_Entry1 TextFile2_Entry_4
.
.
.
.
TextFile_1_Entry1 TextFile2_Entry_n
Basically, in excell this can be done with the following function:
=PROPER(A21&" "&B21)
I am looking for a batch script or other form of script that I could execute in the folder which contains TextFile1 and TextFile2 , a scrip that will write the output in TextFile3 by default.
Thank you!

Can you upload two sample text files? The files should closely represent the actual data.

Wow, so simple, I had kind of written batch files off a while ago.
Perhaps they are worth a second look.

Yes, they can be quite powerful once you get some of the basic building blocks down.
