Notes
-
ConcatenateFiles() is similar to the Copy command at the Command Prompt; it can copy one or more text or binary files into a new file.
-
ConcatenateFiles() does not support wildcards; use GetDirectoryInfo() to get a list of files using wildcards.
-
When concatenating records in fixed-format ASCII files, make sure that the records are the same length in all files.
