How do you combine multiple png's into one?

Does anybody know the Windows commands where you can append multiple pgn (text) files into 1 text file? This would make updating my database much easier.

Thanks!

You can use the dos "copy" command. Select "run" from the start menu, type "cmd" to get a dos window and then look at the help file for "copy" (type - copy /?).
I'd run some tests first as it could all go horribly wrong 🙂

for a lot of files, probably easiest to do in a database program. that's why they exist.

for adding single files, I just do it as copy&paste in notepad after every game I complete. takes only seconds, starting up chessbase takes longer.

Just open each pgn file and copy them into another pgn file with a space in between each game.

[EDIt] Oh, you want windows to do this for you automatically? I think you'd have to write your own program to do it, which is actually very simple.

When he is helpful, he shouldn't be treated as a troll. We should be nice to him when he is nice. When he is trolling it's another thing.

he's not really being nice, or helpful, at all in this case, is he?

Also, there are some pgn DOS utilities in the PGNUTILS package in the link below that might be of use to you. (Things like a utility to strip out the comments from a pgn, etc.)

While you can just use DOS commands like the other posters stated, the PGN Manager utility on the same page will also allow you to join and split pgn files.
