Joining text files

Hello,

Is it possible to quickly join a set of text files to create a single text file? Right now I am going into each text file, doing a select all and then pasting in the master file. I might be able to automate this with a macro, but I thought that there might be a built in way (or another utility) to do this.

The order of the files isn't important to me right now.

Thanks,
-Tom.

You can do it with TextPad.

Create new file.
Right click to get popup menu.
Choose Insert->Files. Select files you wish to insert.

The best way to do this is this
at a command prompt in the directory where your files are located type:
type *.txt > output.lst

that will neatly tie all of your files into one file.
