[dominion]

Hi i'm trying to extract 10first lines of from a text file and paste it at the beginning of an existing file.
i try this code but when it pastes data it just deletes the existing data .
how could i modify this code?

Code: Select all

@echo off & setLocal enableDELAYedeXpansion

set N=
(for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (myfile) do (
  set /a N+=1
  if !N! gtr 10 goto :done
  echo.%%a
)) > some.txt
:done

Thank you
