Merge multiple text files in seconds | Notepad++ Alternative

Today I once again encountered the problem in our advertising agency that I have to merge several text files into one. Therefore a small tutorial for merging text files. If you create a lot of content, you will often end up exporting several TXT files. These are then corrected by “Search & Replace” to standard errors. With mass text creation, for example by software, it can happen that errors are constantly repeated. These are double blanks or also errors that occur constantly like “test”. If every text has more than 1000 characters, plus HTML, YouTube embeddings, etc., mass replacement is worth its weight in gold, because it saves media managers a lot of time. In content marketing often the decisive factor for speed. With small programs like Notepad++ you can then easily use the “Search & Replace” function.
