I realize this may be off topic but I don't find any place to post it. I am
trying to do a DOS coy command that combines a number of files into single
one.

This syntax works if I am in the directory where the files are located:

Copy *.csv Prices.txt

But if I am in another folder and try to put a path to it like

copy C:\Finance\Mutual Funds\Get Prices\*.csv Prices.txt

It always says it cannot find the file. I KNOW the location IS correct. Is
there some error in the syntax that can cause this?

Thanks for any assistance.

Marv
