Add file name to beginning and line break at the end of file

Question

I want to add file name to the beginning of every file and line break

(-------------------------------------------------------) --> like this

                                           --> empty line after line break

to every file with to extension of .cpp

This command will add file name to every line of file and combine those files into one output file.

findstr "^" *.cpp >C:\users\user\desktop\output.txt

Could you help me modify this command?

Answer 1

Try a for loop file by file (*.cpp) and print each Name and eXtension (%%~nxi) redirecting to your output.txt file, then add the line at the end of each looped file with type “current file in loop + echo;

@echo off

cd/d "D:\Full\Path\To\cpp\Files\Folder"

for %%i in (*.cpp)do >>"Output.txt" (
     set /p "'=%%~nxi" <nul & echo;
     type "%%~fi" & echo;
    )
