Append 4 files to separately named file

Hi,

How do I take 4 files and append them all together to create a fifth file?

Can I use source2 and destfile to be the same? Thanks.

The sensible solution you are looking for is AppendFile>.
AppendFile was added with version 7.0.

This example will combine four files into a fifth one.

AppendFile>file1,file2,file5,result
AppendFile>file5,file3,file5,result
AppendFile>file5,file4,file5,result

OR

AppendFile>file1,file2,fileA,result
AppendFile>file3,file4,fileB,result
AppendFile>fileA,fileB,file5,result

As you can see in the first example, lines 2 and 3, the destination file (file5) can be the same as the first file. I never tried to see if it could be the same as the second one.
