Hi All,
I have 270 files that I need to merge.
These files are basically database files containing information strings.
so far straight forward. the problem is that some of the information strings are duplicated so i need to be able to extract these informations strings from file2 and ensure they don't exist in file1 before appending the information to file1
the other problem I have is that there is no common delimiter. All I know is that the information strings are 216 bytes long.
I think I need to use a byte array, but I'm really not sure how!
Sorry if this is really simple and has been covered before but i haven't been able to find it
Thanks in advance for any help!
