Concatenate Files with Wildcard in VBScript

[DRRAZGU]

I am writing a script to concatenate all the files with a particular extension into one. I tried something like this:

objfso.copyfile "m:\*.erg", "m:\big.txt",true
but it gives a "path not found" error

Copying the files as a group without concatenation works:
objfso.copyfile "m:\*.erg", "p:\apps\testonly",true

Using the DOS shell works:
objshell.run("cmd /c COPY M:\*.ERG M:\big.txt")
but I don't want to use it because it runs asynchronously.

How do I concatenate files in
VBScript. Am I trying the impossible?

because it runs asynchronously
objshell.Run "cmd /c COPY M:\*.ERG M:\big.txt", , True

Hope This Helps, PH.

That works. Thanks very much.

I would still like to know if there is a way to do the concatenation using copyfile.

Thanks again, PHV.
