Answer 1

not sure what your end goal really is, but this is the best I can think of without using a for loop and batch file.

If you want the result on one line

set /p one=<file1.txt & set /p two=<file2.txt & echo %one% '%two%'>File1.txt

If you want the result on separate lines

set /p two=<file2.txt & echo '%two%'>>file1.txt
