Batch file: Concatenating list of files from array

Question

I have a list of files, say a, b and c. If I need to concatenate them in that order into a single file, I'd use:

copy /B a+b+c outputfile

How do I do the same if the filenames are in an array? Eg:

set FILE_LIST=(a b c)

I don't want to specify each file name when copying, and wondering if I could just iterate the array and concatenate.

@VishnuPrasadKallummel: That seems to answer how to copy files one by one. How do I concatenate them like above? Not sure if it can be done individually. — thameera, Jul 15, 2014 at 5:45
Concatenat means appending right? So you can append the files one after the other? Would this work for you? superuser.com/a/752473/235648 — Vishnu Prasad Kallummel, Jul 15, 2014 at 6:27

You can achive this by going through a for loop for the file and concatenating/append the files one by one again in another for loop.
