Combine Files

The Combine Files step merges several files in the Intely File System into one. It is the
counterpart to Split File, and is also used to assemble a single delivery from
extracts produced at different points in a workflow.

Configuration

FieldNotes
File PathThe files to combine. Add one entry per file; entries can be removed individually. Order matters — files are combined in the order listed.
Output File TypeRecord Based for delimited text, Binary for anything else.
DelimiterThe field delimiter, for record-based output.
Only Include First File HeadersKeeps the header from the first file and drops the rest, so a combined CSV has one header row instead of one per source file.
Destination Folder PathWhere the combined file is written.
File NameThe name of the combined file.
Replace Existing FileWhether to overwrite a file already at that path.

Only Include First File Headers is the setting most often missed. Without it, combining
files that each carry a header produces a file with headers scattered through the records.
