I have 10 files like below:
file1.txt(file content = "i contain text for file1")file2.txt(file content = "i contain text for file2")file3.txt(file content = "i contain text for file3")
and so
I am trying to do a TYPE command like:
type file*.txt > OUTPUT.txt
this works to output the file contents only. i need output to also have filename for each file.
my output.txt file should look like this:
file1.txt = "i contain text for file1"
file2.txt = "i contain text for file2"
file3.txt = "i contain text for file3"

Create a batch file called proc.bat which contains:
echo %1=>>output.txt
type %1>>output.txt
Then use this command:
for %v in (file*.txt) do proc %v
Use next command from cmd window:
>output.txt (for /F "tokens=1* delims=:" %G in ('findstr "^" "file*.txt"') do @echo %G = "%H")
If used in a batch script, double percent signs in for loop inner variables (i.e. %%G, %%H instead of %G, %H respectively):
@echo off
>output.txt (for /F "tokens=1* delims=:" %%G in ('findstr "^" "file*.txt"') do echo %%G = "%%H")

You can try:
for /l %f in (1,1,3) do echo|set /p="File %f = " >> output.txt & type file%f.txt >> output.txt
This will yield a file that looks like:
File 1 = Text in file1
File 2 = Text in file2
File 3 = Text in file3
The for /l command counts from 1 to 3 in increments. In general (start,increment,end).
