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
