Merge
The process of taking two or more groups of data and combining the data into one. Generic merging (like that done with the MS-DOS copy command) will take one or more files and combining them into one file. More advanced merging commands and programs are capable of only merging data that is new or updated to a file.
- Microsoft DOS and Windows command line users users can merge two or more files into one file using the copy command.
- Linux/Unix users can merge two or more files into one file using the merge command or lines of files using the paste command.
