I NEED to copy only one row from a text file to another.
for example, the first text file CALLED "1' contains:
A=1
B=2
C=3

the second text file called "2' contains:
D=4

I need to add the "D=4" to the file called "1" so after the change it will looks like this:
A=1
B=2
C=3
D=4

ThanksHello again,
Please help me with my problem.

I have 2 text files with bunch of parameters and I want to copy only 1 parameter from one text file to the second using a batch file.
Can it be done? if yes, how? what is the code I need to use?

To be more specific, The main file is INI file contain about 400 parameters and the second file will contain only new parameters that I want automatically updated the main file.

Someone? Thanks in advance for your help

Hi AviT,

have you tried:

copy 1.txt+2.txt 1.txt

which should append content of file 2.txt to 1.txt .

cheers,
jamaThank you very much JAMA,
This is what I need!

Now I get hungry   , Is there an option to import only one line (from INI file that contain lots of parameters) and import this line to a different INI (Which also contain lots of parameters)

Thanks again.
AviHi again Avit,

oops, you asked for a batch.
Edit a batch MERGE.BAT containing only this one line:

copy %1+%2 %1

and call it with (assuming that the filenames are "1" and "2"):

merge 1 2        

Hope this helps,

Your help is great !

Did you know if it possible to import only one line from INI file that contain lots of parameters and import only this line to a different INI file (Which also contain lots of parameters).

Thanks again
AviThat's a lot harder! Since I'm no real batch expert and if you really want to do this with a batch, I recommend to download  
Timo Salmi's TSBAT.ZIP (google for it). It contains a large collection of batch TRICKS together with readable Howto-descriptions.
Sorry that I can't solve this with a snap of my fingers.

Cheers,
