Would FILETOSTR() help? Why do this with RUN?

lcFinal = FILETOSTR('file1.txt')+FILETOSTR('file2.txt')+FILETOSTR('file3.txt')

STRTOFILE(lcfinal,'newfile.txt')


Or

CREATE CURSOR __newfile (mmemo m)
select __newfile
append blank

append memo mmemo from 'file1.txt'
append memo mmemo from 'file2.txt'
append memo mmemo from 'file3.txt'

COPY MEMO mmemo to 'newfile.txt'

>Objective - to take data from 3 different tables - header, detail and footer and merge it into one file - and move the file into a sub directory - with a customized file name

>e.g. - move 2g011304.txt .\gefu\2g011304.txt - which works at the command prompt - the same thing when it is executed in VFP using the run command - returns a bad command or file name message.
