I have a folder with many subfolders containing .xmls and files of other file types. I want to take all the .xmls from the input folder and its subfolders and append them together into a single output file. The command I'm using:
xcopy "C:input*.xml" "C:outputoutput.xml" /s
This causes a prompt asking whether or not to overwrite the destination file over and over. But, per the documenation of xcopy, "To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (that is, by using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format)." So shouldn't the destination file be appended to, not overwritten?
