I am using the type command in a batch file i.e. type WN*N.txt >> Group\WNN.txt
The problem is the text is stuck together in the new file instead of on seperate lines in the original, any ideas please

Thanks for the suggestions guys, unfortunately I am trying to 'type' from several files at once i.e. type WN*.txt >> WNN.txt and I cant get these methods to work in this instance, there are multiple files some with one line and others with multiple lines, any other ideas?

copy file1.txt >> existingfile.txt
copy file2.txt >> existingfile.txt
copy file3.txt >> existingfile.txt
copy file4.txt >> existingfile.txt

>> tells the copy command to add the contents of the source file to the existing fiule instead of replacing it.
