    Please help

    I can combine the contents of 2 .txt files but I can't seem to make the evolutionary leap of merging all .txt files into a new .txt file.

    see this sample all suggestions appreciated

    Set txtFile1=FSO.OpenTextFile(File1,1)

    Set txtFile2=FSO.OpenTextFile(File2,8)
    Do while txtFile1.AtEndOfline <> True
    txtFile2.writeline(txtFile1.readline & vbcr)
    Loop
    txtFile1.close
    txtFile2.close

    you can use a batch file: eg merge.bat

    @echo off
    type *.txt >> report.log
    ren report.log report.txt

    I currently use a batch file to accomplish this merge but I've been asked to skool up on an alternative script host method.

    This will ultimately be a subroutine in a larger script... hopefully!

    Thanks again... this also works in the bat file given a naming convention.

    ECHO OFF
    copy ??-??-2005.txt+log.txt
