- NAME
- Join - Combines (joins) many files into one larger file.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Join FILES/... TO=AS/a
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This program combines several files into one larger file,
- which may also be a device such as a printer or modem. Like
- most ARP commands, it accepts wildcards as its arguments.
- 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.
-
- ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
- Given the added capabilities of the ARP Type program, 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
- Join File1 File2 File3 AS FILES1-3
-
- the above command will combine the three files File1 File2
- and File3 into one large file named FILES1-3. Note that the
- original files are unharmed.
