Often when building release scripts you may need to concatenate a number of files into a single release file. The DOS command below appends all the files in the current directory (of type sql and proc) into a single file (in the case below, created in a sub directory call output) called "release.txt": mkdir output del .\output\release.sql /Q type *.sql >> .\output\release.sql Note, make sure the file extension of the output file differs from the files that are being add to it, or create the output file in a sub directory.
