[Trlog] [CQ-Contest] Question for TR users

[Martin, LU5DX]

You can merge them outside of TRlog.
On Windows you can do that with a few lines of code, using either cmd or
PowerShell scripting.

Hope that helps.

Using Windows cmd

The following line merges all the logs with the extension ".log" in a given
directory. The combined logs will be inside of "merged.txt"

type *.log > merged.txt


Since "merged.txt" will also have Cabrillo Header data, you can remove that
by using:

findstr "QSO:" merged.txt  >>QsoLines.txt


File extensions here are arbitrary in this example, you can use ".cbr",
".log" for both input and output files according to your need.
