If all you need to do is join all the files in a directory into one large file, this can be done easily from a command prompt with a single command.
For example, if the files you want to join are in c:\logs\20031014, enter the command: copy c:\logs\20031014\*.* c:\logs\20031014.txt You can obviously change this command to suit your needs, use different wild cards, etc. A more complicated command that accomplishes the same result is: for %i in (c:\logs\20031014\*.*) do type %i >> c:\logs\20031014.txt If the files need to be added together in some particular order, it gets more complicated but not extremely so. For example, to add the files together sorted by name requires two commands: dir c:\logs\20031014\*.* /B /O > loglist.txt for %i in (loglist.txt) do type %i >> c:\logs\20031014.txt Make it a batch file, run it as a scheduled task, and take it easy. Or am I missing some part of your requirements? -----Original Message----- From: brandon.baker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 6:29 PM To: 'Alan Rader'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mrtg] Re: Need a good windows file merging program Alan, Got anyone that knows a little perl? Perl could do this pretty easy. Brandon -----Original Message----- From: Alan Rader [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 5:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mrtg] Need a good windows file merging program I am looking for something that can take my log files and merge them. I have a directory full of log files created each day and labeled at such. I want to be able to take the contents of each file and add them altogether into one big file. Shareware would be my first choice :) I have found programs that compare, but it is only 2 files and side by side. For that I could just open, cut and paste in a new file and do that for each one manually.
