Thanks for your reply, I, however went with "alter table...." option. Easier
and cleaner in my opinion.

In the first option I forgot to write the sqlplus command between the copy and
the move.

I read the replies and I assume that all the files are in the same structure as
you are reading them using the same external table.
You have several options:
1) If you can process the data from all the files in the same time AND have
disk space
you can use:
copy a.txt+b.txt+c.txt target.txt
move *.txt archive\*.old /Y -->move the files and rename them to old,
overwrite existing files in archive.
this will give you one big file, target.txt, that is concatenation of all
the files and you can process that.
2) Use the for command.
for %i in (*.txt) do call process_file %1
and create file call_process.cmd that do:
copy %1 target.txt --> I prefer copy as the original file remains a is in
case of problems, you can use rename.
sqlplus whatever
move %1 archive\%1 /Y --> move the file to archive directory and overwrite
old file with that name
exit

Hi all,
Running Oracle 9.2 on Windows.
I know this is Oracle forum, but it's somewhat related. This question is for
those of you who run Oracle on Windows.
I have several ".txt" files in a directory (all different names) and looking
for the possibility to do the following using .BAT file:
Take first file
rename it
run procedure (pass it in)
move it into archive dir
delete it from original dir
GOTO 1
Reason I have to do all this is because in step 3 I am using external table to
read the ".txt" file and it has to have a unique file name.
