Some psuedocode that helped me write a little program to do it: 1. choose files for copying (read a directory, for example) 2. loop though those existing files 3. open one of those files for reading 4. open a target file for writing 5. while files exist for reading 6.....print to target 7. close directory or.... use built-in "cp" command from your OS. Hope this helps!	[reply]
