When processing TXT files every day, we encounter scenes that need to merge multiple files, which may be e-books saved in chapters, log files split by date, or scattered notes. When we need to view, analyze and archive these notepad files in a centralized way, the way of opening the files one by one for viewing is inefficient, time-consuming, and inconvenient for us to understand and process the information as a whole. If you manually copy and paste the contents of dozens or even hundreds of text files into the same document, the process will be extremely boring, and there will be problems such as omissions and sequence errors in repeated operations, which cannot guarantee the integrity of the final document.
This article will introduce several practical tips, from the system to a variety of professional tools to merge methods, so that the merger of files becomes easy and simple, and I try it together!
When do you want to merge all TXT text in a folder into one file?
Documents are more fragmented
multiple TXT texts will be scattered and stored in the same folder, such as logs generated every day, exported records, and data sorted in batches. It is very time-consuming to view the large number of files, and it is difficult to find the key content. At this time, merging all TXT texts in the folder into one file can concentrate the relevant content, making it more convenient to view and find.
Unified analysis or processing
notepad in a large number of files need to be full-text search or format finishing. If each file exists alone, it must be repeated many times, which is very inefficient. After all TXTs are combined into a single file, the inspection, modification and analysis can be completed in only one operation, reducing duplication of labor.
Easy to archive for subsequent use
when the project is over or the data is to be archived, the scattered TXT notepad is not conducive to long-term preservation and management, and there may be omissions during copying or transmission. Merging all TXT texts into one file can make the data structure clearer and more convenient for backup and storage.
