redirect type with a filename

[SysAdminUnix]

I'm creating an "old style" batch script. The results of this script are stored in a logfile. Now I want to include the contents of another logfile into this first logfile. The name of this file is each day different. The second logfile resides in a directory, and is the only file that is present. How can I achieve this?

I tried the following construction:
c:\> dir directory /b > filename.txt (which now contains the filename I want to display)
c:\> type < filename.txt

All I get is an error: "The syntax of the command is incorrect

Hello SysAdminUnix,

Would this do?

c:\>dir directory /b > filename.txt
::this will make old log appeared after new data
c:\>type oldlogfile >> filename.txt
::Alternative this will make new data appeared appending after the old log
c:\>dir directory /b >> oldlogfile
