The Merge1File program can be used on the command prompt or in a scheduled batch file.Merge1File 1.2.0.0 is now optimised for data analysis as it supports unicode input and output data files as well as parameters.
Features
The program Merge1File is very easy to use, but very flexible. The small program runs quickly and the source folder can be on a local disk or network share on a file server. File selections can be made using wildcards. The header lines option can be used to change the number of header lines that should be dropped from consecutive files (default is one).License

Merge1File help screen
Using Merge1File with the Source and Destination option
When running Merge1File with the /Source or /S option and /Destination or /D option, a folder path for the source files, and a file name must be provided to store the unicode data. The source path can use either a fixed drive, a mapped drive ("G:\PublicFiles") or an UNC path (\\nlaalfs1\PublicFiles) and the filename may contain wildcards (*.log).The destination file will be created or overwritten with unicode data. The destination file may be on a fixed disk, mapped drive or UNC path.
Default the program will drop one header line from the consecutive files. This is the same as using /H 1
Using Merge1File with the Header lines option
When a source path and destination file is specified, the number of header lines that must be dropped from the consecutive files can be specified using the parameter /Header or /HExamples
-
Simply run the program in a command prompt window to see the Quick help documentation.
Starting the program from a hard disk:C:\batch\Merge1File - Merge all the text files in the "Logs" folder on a network disk to the local disk file "Result.txt" and dropping two header lines from the consecutive files:
C:\Merge1File /Source G:\logs\*.txt /D Result.txt /Header 2The source, destination and header option can also be used in upper case, lower case or you can even use the first letter. For example the following options are equal: /Source, /source, /SOURCE, /S and /s.
-
Whether in a batch or directly, the program Merge1File can also be scheduled. When using the tool DateFormat, a destination file containing the current date can be created. Using a date in the destination file, a monthly, quarterly and yearly overview can be created.
The following example reads the American text files from the source UNC path \\nlaalfs1\PublicFiles$\ (hidden folder) and writes it out to the current folder using a file name with the current date in ISO 8601 standard YYYYMMDD format.
For /f %%i In ('DateFormat "YYYYMMDD"') Do (Set OutputDate=%%i)Merge1File uses the default header lines value and will drop the first line of every consecutive files.
C:\batch\Merge1File /D %OutputDate%_USA.txt /S \\nlaalfs1\PublicFiles$\USA*.txt
