Hi all (again)! I'll try to be as clear as possible, it wont be easy. (If you arent able of understanding the second part of the post, forget about it, look only to the first one) >>By batch file, I need to get 2 files ie: 1.txt: abc 123 xyz 2.txt: dos windows linux >>And put them togheter, like this: abc dos 123 windows xyz linux >>How may I do this?????? ---------secondpart--------------- Let's suppose these other files: 1.txt: 123 2.txt: xyz I know how to concatenate those files by the way I want (so they make a string "123xyz"). I make it like this: (thanks to laurence) for %%a in (FOR %%v in (f100LFF''20 l102 w q) do ECHO %%v>>replc.scr debug.exe 1.txt < replc.scr copy 1.txt+2.txt 3.txt I know that those commands (f100LFF''20...) are put in a script file that is runned by debug.exe. That creates 2 spaces at the begginig of the 1st string of 1.txt, and (I don't know why) changes the way it is copyed When I make "copy 1.txt+2.txt 3.txt", instead of 3.txt get like this: 123 xyz It gets like this: 123xyz And that's what I wanna do! BUT: When I make this process with files with more than 1 string, it doesn't work. Let's suppose I make that process with those 1.txt and 2.txt from the begginning of the post. It gets like this: abc 123 xyzdos windows linux So, i could get 1.txt and 2.txt and separate them in strings, one string by file. But those files (1.txt and 2.txt) may be really BIG (depending on the way the batch is used) So, that's not a solution. ------------------------------- Please help! I hope I were clear!! I know I weren't so clear, sorry, English ain't my first language (portuguese is). I'm gonna say it again: IF YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE SECOND PART OF THE POST, FORGET IT!! LOOK ONLY TO THE FIRST ONE!! Thanks a lot. SECRET_DOOM email: secret_doom@hotmail.com PS: Im using w98. PS2: Laurence, forget about that batch! I'm developing a better version

You know these topics are covered regularly in alt:msdos.batch Why don't you start hanging out there?

Laurence, Unfortunately, because of their general bad reputation for porn/warez/spam, alot of ISPs have stopped (especially corporate) providing access to Newsgroups. As a matter of fact, I haven't been able to access newsgroups for years because of that fact. -Michael

If you can't access them as a newsgroup, access them as a web page. http://www.deja.com/

Thanks for the replies. I'm gonna try that link, doomd!

It's owned by Google now, but that above link will redirect you. Also Google has exposed their search engine on the newsgroups so you can easily search the content for the question you asked.
