kayHi,
Thanks for your reply..

It is not doc file.

Example:
File1.txt :
PersonNo Name
1001 Alex
1002 Mac

File2.txt :
PersonNo Name
1003 Jack
1004 Nick

Target.txt : The file where text from File1 & File2 to be copied

After copy the the target file shoul looks as below
Target.txt
PersonNo Name
1001 Alex
1002 Mac
1003 Jack
1004 Nick

Is it possible ?

Regards,
DD

i seems to have a batch script to suit your work, i wrote it in the early days when i LEARN scripting, and it's messy code all around, but i've been using it in daily basis until TODAY and too lazy to clean-up the code. when noob like me write a batch code, there is a lot of unnecessary goto and label that i first think it is cool to modulize the coding into function and procedure in OOP TERM.
download the attached batch file.

how to use:
Code: [Select]D:\batch>concat /?

USAGE: concat [SOURCE DIRECTORY] [OUTPUT FILE] [HEADERLINENUMBER] [CUSTOMHEADER]

D:\batch>concat ?.doc target.txt 1
target.txt not exist

done 1.doc = 2 Line(s)
done 2.doc = 2 Line(s)
Total Files=2 File(s)

D:\batch>type target.txt
PersonNo Name
1001 Alex
1002 Mac
1003 Jack
1004 Nick
