Hi

There was a tool (editor or something else) which could
merge RTF files. Even wrote a note with filenote to remember,
i think i posted here also about the feature but,
no way to get it back. I'm using trial BookWriter for now !

Wordpad.

Open file 1
Select all
cut
Open file 2
Place the cursor on the desired instertion point
paste
save :-)

Just remember NOT to save the (now empty) file 1 while you open
file 2 :-)

Lol ! i have 178 files to merge ! i tried also A. Klein's idea to use
xcopy
or copy, but it doesn't work (as i suspected it), because rtf is a
inter-
preted code like html : you won't think merging dozends of html by
simply copy them together will give a clean html page.

btw i think the program may be xyexplorer....

Ask in alt.msdos.batch or alt.msdos.batch.nt

No need to use /b - rtf files are text.

But please, that does not work ! i tried it 3 times, and get a
big file in which i could only see 1 page (first or last) . The size
of the file was correct, but it could'nt be displayed.

i used copy *.* test.rtf

something like that.

hm maybe there was a jpg inside that folder. If your sure,
it must work.

No, I was just commenting on the /b switch for text files. It keeps
Windows from putting an end-of-file mark at the logical end of the
file, but you want the EOF mark in a text file.

RTF files are text - as far as the operating system is concerned. As
far as anything that uses them is concerned, they're RTF files, and
you can't just concatenate them at the command line level. You can
read the first one into, say, Word - then read the second one into
another doc in Word, cut it and paste it at the end of the first doc.
Read another RTF into the second doc, cut, paste and repeat until
done.

Automatically? It can be done, but I don't know of any batch command
or existing program that will do it.
