User support request:

Is there any feature in Automize that will merge two files together: file 1 appends file 2.

If you are using windows, you can use a DOS copy command in the command task. There should be something similar for unix.

example commandline: cmd.exe /c copy c:\test\test1.txt+c:\test\test2.txt c:\test\appended.txt

To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format).

here is the help documentation in DOS prompt using : copy /?

Copies one or more files to another location.

COPY [/D] [/V] [/N] [/Y | /-Y] [/Z] [/A | /B ] source [/A | /B][+ source [/A | /B] [+ ...]] [destination [/A | /B]]

source Specifies the file or files to be copied.

/A Indicates an ASCII text file.
/B Indicates a binary file.
/D Allow the destination file to be created decrypted
destination Specifies the directory and/or filename for the new file(s).
/V Verifies that new files are written correctly.
/N Uses short filename, if available, when copying a file with a non-8dot3 name.
/Y Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite anexisting destination file.
/-Y Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file.
/Z Copies networked files in restartable mode.
The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable. This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. Default is to prompt on overwrites unless COPY command is being executed from within a batch script.

To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format).
