I have a number of files (txt/csv) I need to automatically combine (into 1 csv file) every hour. Can anybody recommend the best way of doing this?
Many thanks in advance.
Combine them....

Suggestion...
This is a bit simple...
Use meta tags to update a page ever hour...
Since meta tags are in secounds that would be 3600 secounds, I think or 36000.
You do that math, i am tired.
Anyways, then keep the page open in a browser, everytime the page is loaded, have it run a block of code that does what u need.
This is if time is the problem...
Also some servers, let you set automated scripts to run.
If the timeing is not the problem.
Then I can't really help, its been to long, i am out of the loop....
One problem with the meta tag soulotion... I dont think it will even start counting down untill the block of code is finished... Not sure though...
