Merging files (.txt) or files that we usually open with the Notepad application can be done with CMD (Command Prompt).
If you need to manage a lot of data in a very large number of rows (more than one million rows), you can use notepad.
Because Mircosoft Excel, as we know cm up to 1 million rows.
Exactly I kind of forgot hehe.
Here’s how to merge Notepad (.txt) files that I found on Yonathan Gunawan’s blog.
Combining a group of TXT files to become just one TXT file can be done by using the copy command via Command Prompt (CMD).
The method is as follows:
- Open Command Prompt.
Click the Windows Start button, click Run, then type cmd and press Enter. - Enter the folder containing the set of TXT files you want to merge.
Use theCD (Change Directory) command to change the path in the Command Prompt.
CD C:\Data folder that you want to merge data\ - Type copy *.txt data.txt and press Enter.
The above command will generate a data.txt file which is a combination of all TXT files.
