All programs are command line programs.
MUST be run within a command window as administrator.
Merge will "merge" files which have filenames sequenced (ie: .001, .002 etc) into a single larger file.
It is most often used to merge segments of a larger file that may have been split into smaller pieces for analysis.
Very simple put, you have a sequence of smaller files with sequenced extensions: (.000, .001, .002 etc.) Hopefully the sequence numbers are
the correct sequence for merging the individual files back to a single large file.
Then you run the program and "merge" or combine all these smaller files into a single larger file. Not much else to say about its operation. The
final operation is similar to the DOS copy command of this format:
copy /b file.000 + file.001 + file.002 big_final_file.txt
The main difference is, that if you have a lot of files in the sequence, the copy command gets unmanageable.
-f + basefilename.*: to merge these sequenced files into the single output file. The sequence can start either with .000 or .001.
-o + outputfilename: merge the sequences to this larger file.
C:>merge -f file_segments.* -o final_merged_filensme
