Hi, I don't know how to really work DOS but I really need help! I would need a bat file that can copy 1 specific line from each one of a number of txt files, and paste that line from every txt into a new final txt that would contain all of them. Could someone help me? For example I have: 1.txt a b c 2.txt a b c I need to have 3.txt b b (both b and b from files 1.txt and 2.txt.) Thank you for your help!

Is the text you need to copy always going to be the same line or as the case of the example, the second line?

It is always going to be the same line but the numbers that follow the first word will change. For example it could say Totals: 123 456 but then it could change to Totals: 675 456 I need the entire "Totals:" line every time from every file. But just that line. All of the other lines or text in the file are not necessary. If you need an example I could post one

I think an example might help.

Please see below an example: Text1 contains: ## Analysis Log file ## Created: Date : Monday, December 22, 2008 Time : 12:51:59 Version : XXXX New Files: Selected : 1 Old Files: Selected : 0 Starting analysis process....

Does this help? Thank you so much!!
