Concatenate text files with Windows command line, dropping leading lines

Question

I need to concatenate some relatively large text files, and would prefer to do this via the command line. Unfortunately I only have Windows, and cannot install new software.

Answer 1

The help for copy explains that wildcards can be used to concatenate multiple files into one.

For example, to copy all .txt files in the current folder that start with "abc" into a single file named xyz.txt:

copy abc*.txt xyz.txt
