DONE: Append/Concatenate/Merge text files, but prepend filenames

(1/3) > >>

nkormanik:
Any suggestions on the best way to append/concatenate/merge text files, and include filenames (and paths, even better) separating the files.

I've regularly simply used 'copy':

copy *.txt bigfile

But this, of course, does not include filenames between files.

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks!

@nkormanik Yep I can whip up a quick app.  :Thmbsup:

--- Code: PowerShell ---Get-ChildItem ..\*.ps1 | ForEach-Object { Add-Content -Path 'output.txt' "`r`n----------`r`n$($_.FullName)`r`n----------"; Add-Content -Path 'output.txt' -Value (Get-Content $_.Fullname) }
Output:

--- Code: Text -------------Z:\test\Base64Encode.ps1----------$Content = Get-Content -Path K:\favicon.ico -Encoding Byte$Base64 = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($Content)$Base64 | Out-File K:\encoded.txt ----------Z:\test\concat.ps1----------Get-ChildItem ..\*.ps1 | ForEach-Object { Add-Content -Path 'output.txt' "`r`n----------`r`n$($_.FullName)`r`n----------"; Get-Content $_ | Out-File 'output.txt' -Append -Encoding utf8 } ----------Z:\test\Detect-Computers.ps1----------Ping 192.168.0.255arp -a | select-string 'dynamic' | foreach  {$_.line.trim().split(" ") | select -first 1 } | foreach {(Resolve-DnsName -Name $_ -ea 0).namehost}(Test-Connection SABnzbd -Quiet -Count 1)

Give this a try. Extract and run MergeTXT.exe. Drag drop plain text files on to the dialog, set an output file, and click Go. You can optionally set the file name as the separator between text in the output file.

There currently is no way to reorder the files in the list other than how you drop them on the dialog and you can also click on the "File" header in the list to sort them A-Z or Z-A. If this works well for you then I'll add a way to reorder the files [buttons to move the file up or down in the list].
