Merge two textfiles?

Hi
I want to merge two textfiles via. Navision and have done it so far by writing a SHELL command:
When the two files are merged it also seems that a (It looks like an arrow pointing right in a binary texteditor) appears at the end of the new file. Why is that? and how do you get rid of it?
Have tried:
Thanks

I want to merge two textfiles via. Navision and have done it so far by writing a SHELL command:
SHELL('cmd','/C','copy '+File1+'+'+File2 +' '+NewFile);
Can't you do this without using the SHELL command?When the two files are merged it also seems that a (It looks like an arrow pointing right in a binary texteditor) appears at the end of the new file. Why is that? and how do you get rid of it?
Have tried:
FileVar.OPEN(NewFile); FileVar.SEEK(FileVar.LEN-1); FileVar.TRUNC;Can someone help me?
Thanks

FileID.WRITEMODE(TRUE);
FileID.TEXTMODE(FALSE);
FileID.OPEN(FullExportFilename);
FileID.SEEK(FileID.LEN-1);
FileID.TRUNC;
FileID.CLOSE;
1) copy the file first file to the new file with FILE.COPY
2) open the new file with a FILE variable
3) open the second file with a FILE variable
4) read the lines of the second file and write them to the new file
I think if the strange character was there in the input files only then it will occur in the output (new) file? Are the files text only?
Grtz.

SHELL('cmd','/C','copy '+File1+' /B +'+File2 +' /B '+NewFile + ' /B');No PM,please use the forum. || May the <SOLVED>-attribute be in your title!
Thanks for your replies.
I've at long last solved it...
I had to use the SHELL command but the reason why I couldn't get the TRUNC function to work was simply because the system couldn't copy the files fast enough before executing the rest of the code, so I had to put in a SLEEP right after the SHELL command... it took me pretty long time to figure that out :-)
Thanks again
