- NAME
- Join - Combines (joins) many files into one larger
- file.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Join name1 name2.... AS or TO destname
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This program combines several files into one larger
- file, which may also be a device such as a printer or
- modem. It accepts wildcards as its arguments. Wildcards
- are only supported under 2.x/3.x. 1.3 MUST have more than
- one name.
-
- This command will alphabetize the wildcarded
- filenames before using them. If you specify only one
- name, then a simple Copy will result. Any number of files
- may be specified in the command line, and each one may be
- a wildcard specification.
-
- KEYWORDS
- name1 name2...
- These are the files you will combine. Under 1.3 you
- must place at least two names here, with a space between
- each name (up to 15).
-
-
- AS or TO
- This is the name of the new file into which the
- contents of the other files are placed. This can be a new
- file or an old file, but it can't be any of the files
- which precede the AS or TO keyword.
-
- ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
- You may prefer to use TYPE for joining files rath
- than JOIN. JOIN is included for backward's compatibility
- with batch scripts. The one advantage of Join is that it
- runs a bit faster than TYPE concatenating large files.
-
- EXAMPLE
-
- 1. To combine the three files File1 File2 and File3
- into one large file named FILES1-3. Note that the
- original files are unharmed.
-
- Join File1 File2 File3 AS FILES1-3
