Special Processing: Appending Files (Concatenation)

You can append/concatenate files easily with this software. This special process places a copy of one or more input files at the end of the output file.

To Append (Concatenate) files:

  1. From the Special Process list, select Append (Concatenate) files. Input file(s) contents is placed at the end of the Output file.

  2. Select the File Format of the input and output files.
    Note that both the input and output files must be of the same file type.

  3. In Select Input File(s)/Folders To Process, click image\ebx_1332418670.gif File or image\ebx_-668700270.gif Folder buttons to browse for the file or folder you wish to process.
    To select a folder of files to append, specify it using the C:\INPUTPATH\*.EXT format, where EXT is the file extension of the input files (e.g. C:\Samples\*.txt).

  4. Specify the output file information in Select Output File(s) by browsing or typing in the name and location the file will be saved at.

  5. If you wish to add the task to the conversion task list, click Add (or press ALT+A) . If you don't plan on doing more than one conversion task, skip this step.

  6. Click Convert (or press F5) to start the process.

To append many files to one file:

  1. Use the folder option to select the input folder.
  2. Add the file format to the end of the path (e.g. *.doc , *.htm, *.txt).

For example, if you specify input files of:

C:\BusinessLetters\*.doc

and an output file of:

C:\BusinessLetters\ManyLetters.doc

CD will append all *.doc files found in the BusinessLetters folder to the ManyLetters.doc document.
Note: CD does not to add the output file to itself.
