[ralfs_k]

Hi.

Can someone give me any idea how to create batch file to unite txt file rows?

txt1:

big
small
large

txt2:

apple
cookie
mouse

txt3:

big apple
small cookie
large mouse

txt1 and txt2 contains exactly the same amount of rows.

tnx.

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set filecontent=
for /f "delims=" %%a in (1.txt) do (
set currentline1=%%a
)
for /f "delims=" %%a in (2.txt) do (
set currentline2=%%a
set filecontent=!currentline1!!currentline2!
)
echo %filecontent% >> 3.txt



ok I tried! =] but this only concentenates last lines of txt files...

another version this unites all text lines from 1.txt and 2.txt in one large line:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set filecontent=
set filecontent2=
for /f "delims=" %%a in (1.txt) do (
set currentline=%%a
set filecontent=!filecontent!!currentline!
)
for /f "delims=" %%a in (2.txt) do (
set currentline2=%%a
set filecontent2=!filecontent2!!currentline2!
)
echo %filecontent%%filecontent2% >> 3.txt



i'ts not like i'm not trying Phil! posting in forum is last resort after googling and trying myself to create batch file =]

Thanks PhilFrisbie all talk no help! =[

this did the trick:

@echo off
set f1=1.txt
set f2=2.txt
(
for /f "delims=" %%a in (%f1%) do (
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set /p line=
echo(%%a!line!
endlocal
) >> 3.txt
)<%f2%
pause > nul

Hey, I am sorry I did not get right back, but some of us take breaks from the 'net for family trips! 😉

But I am glad you figured out your assignment. Batch files can be a very handy tool in real life work.
