Is it possible to add data to the end of a file or merge data from 2 or more
files.

Of course. How you do it depends upon the file type.

In a command prompt you can do
copy source dest

and soucre could be files added together like

copy file1.txt+file2.txt file3.txt

adding file1 and 2 into file 3
of course this is a text file that would be better done with notepad.
But you can add 20 files together like this a bit faster some days.
And you can also do it to other files, but adding things like word docs
won't work. Word, powerpoint etc have headers and footers in the file
that make this fail. You only want 1 in the end result file.

There are a lot of generic splitter/joiner programs for free out there
too. But you give us so little info to work off of, this is about the
best I can do.

If you need better info, try giving us more examples. What kind of
files, how many of them. How often do you do this. etc.
