merge files into one on xp

Question

We have order files that are date time stamped like so 28072010_950_order.txt 28072010_1050_order.txt

does anybody know how to, on a windows xp box, have a small app run that would change all these time stamped files that have the same date and merge them into a single file called: 28072010_order.txt

So it would take all the data from all these single files and merge it into one file.

Thanks for reading.

You can use a simple batch file that contains a command like this.

for %%f in (*.txt) do type %%f >> file.txt
