[mrtg] Re: Need a good windows file merging program

[Jerry Heidtke]

If all you need to do is join all the files in a directory into one large file, this can be done easily from a command prompt with a single command.

For example, if the files you want to join are in c:\logs\20031014, enter the command:

copy c:\logs\20031014\*.* c:\logs\20031014.txt

You can obviously change this command to suit your needs, use different wild cards, etc.

A more complicated command that accomplishes the same result is:

for %i in (c:\logs\20031014\*.*) do type %i >> c:\logs\20031014.txt

If the files need to be added together in some particular order, it gets more complicated but not extremely so. For example, to add the files together sorted by name requires two commands:

dir c:\logs\20031014\*.* /B /O > loglist.txt
for %i in (loglist.txt) do type %i >> c:\logs\20031014.txt

Make it a batch file, run it as a scheduled task, and take it easy.

Or am I missing some part of your requirements?

Alan,

Got anyone that knows a little perl?  Perl could do this pretty easy.

I am looking for something that can take my log files and merge them.  I
have a directory full of log files created each day and labeled at such.
I want to be able to take the contents of each file and add them
altogether into one big file.  Shareware would be my first choice :)  I
have found programs that compare, but it is only 2 files and side by
side.  For that I could just open, cut and paste in a new file and do
that for each one manually.
 
 
Thanks
