Thanks for your reply, I, however went with "alter table...." option. Easier and cleaner in my opinion.

In the first option I forgot to write the sqlplus command between the copy and the move.

I read the replies and I assume that all the files are in the same structure as you are reading them using the same external table. You have several options:
1) If you can process the data from all the files in the same time AND have disk space

    you can use:
    copy a.txt+b.txt+c.txt target.txt
    move *.txt archive\*.old /Y -->move the files and rename them to old, overwrite existing files in archive.     this will give you one big file, target.txt, that is concatenation of all the files and you can process that. 2) Use the for command.

    for %i in (*.txt) do call process_file %1     and create file call_process.cmd that do:     copy %1 target.txt --> I prefer copy as the original file remains a is in case of problems, you can use rename.     sqlplus whatever
    move %1 archive\%1 /Y --> move the file to archive directory and overwrite old file with that name     exit

Hi all,
Running Oracle 9.2 on Windows.
I know this is Oracle forum, but it's somewhat related. This question is for those of you who run Oracle on Windows. I have several ".txt" files in a directory (all different names) and looking for the possibility to do the following using .BAT file:

Take first file

rename it

run procedure (pass it in)

move it into archive dir

delete it from original dir

GOTO 1 Reason I have to do all this is because in step 3 I am using external table to read the ".txt" file and it has to have a unique file name.
