Try this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
for %%a in (*.prn) do (
for /f "delims=" %%b in ('type "%%a"') do (
>>newfile.txt echo %%a^|%%b
)
)

Sir,

its only showing file name "|" again file name not copying data from file

need to copy all data from each file to one new file adding file name to each row of data at starting with "|".

getting output file as below with below code.

ab.prn | ab.prn
ab.prn | ab.prn
123.prn | 123.prn
123.prn | 123.prn
123.prn | 123.prn
123.prn | 123.prn
123.prn | 123.prn
xyz.prn | xyz.prn
xyz.prn | xyz.prn
xyz.prn | xyz.prn
xyz.prn |xyz.prn
xyz.prn | xyz.prn
bbb123.prn | bbb.123

@echo off
for %%a in (*.prn) do (
for /f "delims=" %%b in ('type "%%a"') do (
>>newfile.txt echo %%b^|%%a
)
