DIR *.txt >> main.log
When you use double redirection ">>", it will append. With single
redirection ">" it will overwrite, so be careful.
Else, in three steps, using single redirection to temp file,
then append temp file to main file with copy command, then delete
temp file
DIR *.txt > temp.log
COPY main.log+temp.log main.log
DEL temp.log
You can insert path names in front of each file name in the above
commands to make certain you get it right in case you execute
the batch from a another directory (from anywhere as long as you
keep the batch in a directory on your path. Type SET to see your
current path environment).
Btw: see DIR /? for output options.
All the best,
