Putting The Text From Several Text Files Into 1 Text File

[dr. dre 23]

I have a folder with about 100 .txt files. I want to put all of the text from the files into 1 .txt file.

It makes sense to use "$text from list", but how would I loop that?

I tried

 

Loop

List total

 

text from list

next list item..

 

would i use "replace" ? I also read somewhere on the forum how you could use a shell command to get all the text off of the files. Could someone point me in the right direction?

I will try to put together a example for you if someone else doesn't before tomorrow morning.

There are a couple of ways to do it.

 

I would try this first.

 

1. Setup a loop

2. Load the first file into a List

3. Save the list your new file for all of them

4. Repeat the loop

 

You're done!

here you go..

 

 

Will merge all files inside a folder you specify

merge files-lowridertj.ubot

Really appreciate the quick response Buddy and TJ. Question TJ, In your bot, in the "add to list" node, the list "%looped" is only 1 file, will this loop pull the text from every(100) .txt files from the folder from the "$get files" folder? I will try it.

[LoWrIdErTJ - BotGuru 904]

yes all the files from your folder are added to the first list. it adds the path to each file in a list in the first add to list.

 

then it loops and grabs the data from each file in the &loop

 

then saves it all to 1 text file.

TJ, Dude, That worked too smooth!! I am going to take it apart and learn how everything worked, and i will also try what Buddy said. My goal is to learn everything about Ubot.

Thanks again TJ.

how can we add files to 1 file if we are using the ubot version 3.515?
