Combining PGN Files with "copy *.pgn name_of_the_combined_file.pgn"

[Note: This works on Windows OS. I am not sure if it works on other operating systems.]

Let's say you have a bunch of pgn files. And, you would like to combine them into one bigger pgn file.

Open the Command Prompt.
[If you are not familiar with the Command Prompt, just Google it and you should be able to find information that should help you.]

You should see something like:
C:\Users\username>

"username" is the folder that Command Prompt is pointing to. If you'd like to change the directory, read this page: How To Change Directory

But, let's just do the combining in the user directory. Just drag the files you'd like to combine into the user directory. You can move them out to wherever you'd like after the job is done.

Now you have the files in the user directory.
Type "copy *.pgn name_of_the_combined_file.pgn"
That's it! You should see something like "1 file(s) copied."

copy *.pgn name_of_the_combined_file.pgn

Combining files can really help when you want to study in SCID (vs. PC) or other database programs.
