Great discussion... !!! Folks, I really appreciate all the feedback and the ideas... this is how you learn when you write and share 🙂

One thing I am not sure - and correct me if I am wrong - is if the batch file shown here creates one seprate output text file for each of the scripts executed. Ideally, each of the source script output should be in a seperate text output file.

As for how to insert multiple scripts in between - I believe the approach in the last post is worthwhile - for example starting file names with say 10 then 20, 30 etc....that way, files beiginning with 11 or 12 or 25 can be inserted in between. Even if we do have files starting with 1,2,3 etc... I am sure another script or batch file can rename the whole group using some sort of loop to accomodate the new file.

Personally, I would not want to run say, 25 script files concatenated in one huge script file. To me, if there is an error in one batch (because if you incorporate everything in one script, the individual "scripts" would have to be batches within the large file), the whole process may still go ahead but with inconsistencies / errors in it. I would rather use the /b option.

Once again, many thanks.
