  • Thread starter Thread starter Ayush
  • Start date Start date
Copy con fileb.txt

type in what you want

press CTRL+Z or F6 then enter

Copy filea.txt + fileb.txt File

filea.txt will now have the contents of filea.txt and fileb.txt
 
oops dropped part of a line
"Copy filea.txt + fileb.txt File"
should read
"Copy filea.txt + fileb.txt filea.txt"

| Try this:
|
| echo This is a new line >> c:\test.txt
|

That can work if i have to append txt files but i want to append date and
time that does't work with this method. The method Pegasus suggested is
perfect.
Well, thanks for your time and suggestion

These redirection characters are fundamental to the operation
of the Command Processor but I do not know where they
are documented. You might be able to find something if you
google for these words:
redirect append "standard output" "error output"

output" [ a mistake ]] and you know what ? The first link got all the info i
