Re: merging two txt files into one txt file
 

VB.Net makes a task like that quite simple:

    Public Sub text_combine( _

        ByVal path_to_read_file As String, _

        ByVal path_to_append_file As String _

    )

        System.IO.File.AppendAllText( _

            path_to_append_file, _

            System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path_to_read_file) _

        )

    End Sub

A little error checking may prevent hangups:

    Public Function text_combine( _

        ByVal path_to_read_file As String, _

        ByVal path_to_append_file As String _

    ) As Boolean

        If ( _

            (IO.File.Exists(path_to_read_file)) _

            And (IO.File.Exists(path_to_append_file)) _

        ) Then

            Try

                System.IO.File.AppendAllText( _

                    path_to_append_file, _

                    System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path_to_read_file) _

                )

                text_combine = True

            Catch ex As Exception

                text_combine = False

            End Try

        Else

            text_combine = False

        End If

    End Function
