Hi
I have many .txt files and I would like to make just 1 file
with all the content of the other files.
Is there a way to do this? (besides the copy/paste routine)
Thanx
Alain
 
What software do you have on your computer and do you what
to retain the txt format?

If you have WORD (it should work with other programs?),
select all the files you want to merge, then select open,
WORD will open and merge the contents into one file. It
will be in WORD format (.doc) but you can save as txt.

Just checked this too, Start/run type cmd...then type help
copy to see procedure.
Basically just use copy file1.txt + file2.txt+....fileN.txt
newfile.txt

Click to expand...

Jim. I just tried this and all it did was open each one in a seperate
window. How did you get it to open them up as one?
 
Jim, whenever I select multiple Word files and then open, they all open as
separate documents whether I do the multiple selection with or without Word
running. Interested in how you get them to open as one document?
