Get all the files names into an array or a table and use a counter to know
when to switch to a new file as you iterate the array or table?

Hi Team

 

>From approx 5000 files I need to create approx 10 'blocks' of 50 files 
>in each
block

I want to be able to get say the first 50 files in a folder - merging those
50 files into one file 

Then getting the next 50 and merging that lot into a second merged file etc
and so on

I can do the merge bit OK 

Does anyone have a clue on how to get the first 50 then the next 50 and so
on until all files have been merged into a handful of larger merged files?

 

FYI - they will all be individual XML files being merged into larger XML
files to speed up internal processes here 

 

MTIA
