Append one text.txt file to another text2.txt file

[chrisT]

I have looked, leaving almost no stone unturned, does abody know a simple way, not just to filewriteline or filewrite, but to append an entire text file to another textfile, perhaps ClipPut/ClipGet with a $string variable, sorry I'm very new here, forgive my ignorance.

you could just....

$file1 = FileRead("c:\file1.txt")
$file2 = FileOpen("C:\file2.txt",1)
FileWrite($file2,@CR & $file1)

Hi,

I am getting an error message when I used this code , for appending the files. Actually for "FileRead" we need to give one more parameter that is the "count".

I need to append the whole file to another. How can I do this ? Could some one help ?

Yea certainly. He just wrote some quick apparently psuedo code.

$file1 = FileRead("c:\file1.txt", FileGetSize("c:\file1.txt"))
$file2 = FileOpen("C:\file2.txt",1)
FileWrite($file2,@CR & $file1)
FileClose($file2) ;Note: $file1 should close itself due to only using FileRead()

I hope this further helps you in your Adventures with AutoIt.

actually, my example assumed beta, which has the second parameter as optional with the default value being the entire file. only in 3.1.1 the count is a required parameter. beta is betta'

simple way to concatentate files

concatanate foo and bar to foo.bar

copy foo + bar foo.bar

OR

type foo > foo.bar

type bar >> foo.bar

using wildcards is also permitted....

copy *.foo foofiles

AutoIt's Beta is definitely better. I didnt know that being an optional param in beta. Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that.
