Hi,
I would say IDL "can" do that, but would not be my first choice. Linux and Win doe the job in a one liner:
See for instance:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3770/how-to-merge-al l-text-files-in-a-directory-into-one

http://superuser.com/questions/111825/any-command-line-or-ba tch-cmd-to-concatenate-multiple-files

Cheers,
Helder

PS: sorry for spoiling the "IDL" learning process, but I really think, that this should not be done in IDL... unless you use spawn of course!
