for %f in (*.txt) do type "%f" output.txt

Command Prompt file list to text
It's very, very easy in the Windows Command-Line Interpreter (all Windows
OSes):

Open a command prompt (Start - Run - cmd "Enter" ).
Navigate (cd) to the directory whose files you want to list.
Enter dir output_file_name (e.g., dir C:\dir.txt) and press "Enter".

Open a command prompt (Start - Run - cmd Enter) Navigate (cd) to the
directory whose files you want to list.
Enter dir output_file_name (e.g., dir C:\dir.txt) and press Enter.
Open the newly created text file (C:\dir.txt) and
you'll have the complete output of the dir command in that directory.

I suppose we really need to figure out what kind of data we are
talking about here. Is this several files of column data that you want
to reduce to one? Once you get that into a single file there are other
tools you can use for that but some are not in a basic DOS load.
I would use dBase but only because I have it and am comfortable with
it.
