Pull out your command line and let's go:
copy /a *.txt concat.txt
This will concatenate all txt files in the same directory into one file named "concat.txt".
/A indicates an ASCII text file

short question, short answer +1 (only tiny blemish, the changing case of the /a) – Wolf – 2015-03-27T10:33:50.083
1The /a or /A option seems to be less useful then expected. I'm getting garbage line feeds in the concatenated file after the first file. Maybe this option is now outdated because many of alternative formats are around: you mostly think it's ASCII, but it isn't /b will do, if the last line ends with linefeed. – Wolf – 2015-03-27T10:46:52.570
more catchy title then the duplicated one, so +1 – Wolf – 2015-03-27T10:33:33.707
Are they all in the same directory? Do you have a list of the all the files? – Nifle – 2012-07-26T11:08:37.720
They are all in the same directory and I don't have a list of the file names. – CLiown – 2012-07-26T11:10:35.970
Then JC2k8's answer should do what you need. Don't forget to come back and accept it later if it does. – Nifle – 2012-07-26T11:12:24.223
