' Concatenate a variable number of text files into a single result file
'
' Params:
' - ResultFile: the complete path of the result file you want to create
' - Separator: a string that is written when a file is added to the result
' file.
'   Note: this string can contain the #FilePath# tag that will be replaced
'   with the path of the file being added
' - SourceFiles: a sequence of files whose content will be concatenated
'
' Example:
'  ConcatenateFiles "D:\res.txt", "------ NEW FILE: #FilePath# ------",
' "D:\1.txt", "D:\2.txt", "D:\3.txt"

Private Sub ConcatenateFiles(ByVal ResultFile As String, _
  ByVal Separator As String, ParamArray SourceFiles() As Variant)
  Dim FSO As New FileSystemObject
  Dim fsSourceStream As TextStream
  Dim fsResStream As TextStream
  Dim sSeparator As String
  Dim i As Integer
  
  On Error Resume Next
  
  ' create a new file
  Set fsResStream = FSO.OpenTextFile(ResultFile, ForWriting, True)
  
  ' for each source file in the input array
  For i = 0 To UBound(SourceFiles)
    ' add the separator first (replacing the special tag for the file path)
    sSeparator = Replace(Separator, "#FilePath#", SourceFiles(i))
    fsResStream.Write sSeparator & vbCrLf
    ' open the file in read mode
    Set fsSourceStream = FSO.OpenTextFile(SourceFiles(i), ForReading)
    ' add its content + a blank line to the result file
    fsResStream.Write fsSourceStream.ReadAll & vbCrLf
    ' close this source file
    fsSourceStream.Close
  Next i
  
  fsResStream.Close
End Sub
