Hi everyone,
I've got another text file question and was hoping I could glean more
knowledge...
Problem:
Over a hundred text files by the following file name convention:
quickYYYYMMDD.txt
For each file, read the 1st and 7th line, and then write those lines to
another file named aggy.txt in the following format:
<1st line>, "~", <7th line>
Any help or suggestions on how to go about doing this would be greatly
appreciated. As it stands, I'm opening each file copy/pasting the lines.
