....maybe an easier way would be using something like below(sets a variable to name the merge file and then captures text files modifed today):

FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2,3,4 DELIMS=/ " %%A IN ('DATE /T') DO SET ydate=%%D%%B%%C
forfiles /p c:\TEMP /M *.txt /D 0 /c "cmd /c type @file>>c:\%YDATE%.txt"

my example got all txt files from c:\temp and then merged them to a file on the root of c named <todays date>.txt

I need it to be automated ... and the filenames will change by day we

would only want the ones that end in 04-30.TXT or what ever the 
current day is ... some days
their will be 2 files and some their might be 5+ files to merge.

Thanks
Dave
