batch file copy contents of 1 file into another

I am trying to create a bat file to copy the contents of one file and append it to the end of another file.

Say I have a file named test.txt and I want to append the contents of test.txt to a file that is already created with the name of results.txt

How can this be done?

Solution

  • You can do type test.txt >> results.txt

    Also see this reference at ss64.com for redirection.

    Note that TYPE will convert Unicode files to ANSI. If you need to keep files as they are, download the UnxUtils and use cat instead of type.
