Remove EOF (0x1A) from the file

Hi all,

if I

Code: Select all

copy file1.txt+file2.txt file3.txt


copy command always adds an EOF character (0x1A aka SUB).

Is there an easy way to remove it?

Thank you.

Use /b for each file:

Code: Select all

copy file1.txt /b + file2.txt /b file3.txt /b

That will preserve any existing EOF that may exist in your source files, which could be a bad thing.

It may be better to use /A for the source, and /B for the target.

Code: Select all

copy /a file1.txt + file2.txt file3.txt /b
