Merge all .txt files in all subdirectories in one txt file

I want to merge content of all .txt files in my directory (containing subdirectories) to one txt file. I need to do this:

xcopy text1.txt + text2.txt text3.txt

but in a for loop which takes all text files in current directory. i assume something like this:

for \r ___ in ___ do copy list.txt

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Use one % instead of two %% to run it from the command line.

    for /r "c:\folder" %%a in (*.txt) do type "%%a" >>"bigfile.txt"
