preserve empty lines while merging files [SOLVED]

[abc0502]

Hi, I don't know what is happining but i'm now trying to merge several files together, and they have empty lines,
i need this lines to be there in the merged file,
I tried counting lines and echo it to the final file.
Tried using a for loop with all txt files and this command with the for loop

Code: Select all

echo %%a>>file.txt

Tried the same for loop but with type

Code: Select all

type %%a>>file.txt

I can't use the copy file1+file2+file3 file.txt because i don't know the names or how many files they are i'm using the for loop to get all files in directory and all files will be stored in the %%a variable

any idea?

Is it all the .txt files in a folder?

Code: Select all

copy *.txt a.tmp
ren a.tmp "filename.txt"
