Hi,

I want to write a batch program to concatenate the number of files in Folder A (The number of files in Folder A may vary)

The suppose file 1 looks is:

Name Addr State Country
A B NJ US
C D CA US

File2 is

Name Addr State Country
E F NJ US
G H CA US

The desired Output file should look like

Name Addr State Country
A B NJ US
C D CA US
E F NJ US
G H CA US

I am new to batch programming Please need help with this.

I understand copy command can be used to do this but the file name is
200807test.txt thenother file name will be 200809test.txt i.e. yyyymmtest.txt

Thanks In Advance

Thanks In Advance

Folder A may contain two files today but tommorow it may contain 3 or more files help me with this .

The approach I am following is first

calculate the number of files in the folder:

echo off
set count=0
CD%1

FOR %%i in (*%2) do set /A count+=1
cd ..
echo %count%

then I want to strip off the first line of each and then concatenate.

the code for stripping the header is :

for /f "tokens=* skip=1" %%A in (%1) do ( echo %%A >> newfile-firstline-deleted.txt )

this works for one file I want to make it work for all the files in the folder as %1 would be the common text for the file name

can you please help me with this

Thanks In Advance
