Copy /b and Findstr /v

Question

I'm trying to merge a lot of logs together that is in one folder.

This is what I've tried to do.

copy /b *.log test.log | findstr /V "xyz" test.log >> final_test.log

It doesn't seem to be working but it works if I were to do individually. Can someone correct me on this?

Thanks

Not sure about what you really want.

For merging files, copy /b *.log test.log will do. Tested on Windows 10.

I want to merge the files then use the results and findstr "xyz" test.log >> final_test.log I know that this works if I was to do it as separately

@Yen Deng Then you may want copy /b *.log test.log && findstr /V "xyz" test.log >> final_test.log
