# Combine Files for Visual Studio Code



Combines several files spread over several folders. This is useful in many cases.



1. Combine SQL scripts from your repo into a single file you can use for deployment.

2. Easily create an API doc from Markdown files stored in a folder structure.

3. You get the idea.



## Features



Just use `Ctrl` and `Shift` to select multiple files and folders, then right-click and choose *Combine Files*. 



If you select a folder, all matching files in subfolders will also be included.



The result will be a single file containing the content of all the selected files. By default, there will also be headers and footers for each included file, as well as a table of contents at the top. You can configure all of this either in user settings, or a configuration file.



## Installation



Search for *Combine Files* in the VS Code extensions marketplace.



Alternatively, you can install it from this link: [Visual Studio Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=BateleurIO.vscode-combine-scripts)



## Configuration



You can change the default configuration in user/workspace settings, or you can place a configuration file named `.combinefilesrc.json` in the workspace root.



The file looks like this:



```json

{

    "fileGroups": [/*...*/]

}

```



Each entry in `fileGroups` can have one or more of the following properties:



*   `groupName` - Not used. Use this to label multiple configurations.

*   `outputFileName` - The name of the output file. If this is not specified, a temporary file is created.

*   `fileGlobs` - A list of glob patterns to match. A file is included if it matches *any* glob pattern. Defaults to `**/*.sql` if none is specified.

*   `fileHeader` - The lines of text to be placed at the beginning of the output.

*   `fileFooter` - The lines of text to be placed at the end of the output.

*   `includeToc` - A table of contents will be written after `fileHeader` but before the first `entryHeader` if this is `true`. Defaults to `false`.

*   `tocHeader` - If `includeToc === true`, the lines of text to be placed after the `fileHeader`, but before the first `tocEntry`.

*   `tocEntry` - If `includeToc === true`, the single line of text that is added once for each included file. Defaults to `'\t${lineNo}\t\t${entryPath}'`, which will show the line number and original file name for each entry.

*   `tocFooter` - If `includeToc === true`, the lines of text to be placed after the last `tocEntry`, but before the first `entryHeader`.

*   `entryHeader` - The lines of text to be placed at the beginning of each file entry. You can also include the `${entryPath}` variable anywhere in this value.

*   `entryFooter` - The lines of text to be placed at the end of each file entry. You can also include the `${entryPath}` variable anywhere in this value.



For an example, here is the default configuration for SQL files:



```json

{

    "fileGroups": [{

        "fileGlobs": [

            "**/*.sql"

        ],

        "fileHeader": [

            "/**********************************************************************************",

            "* This is a concatenation of all the selected files, including files in subfolders.",

            "* The start and end of each file contains a comment with its name, as well as a",

            "* print statement.",

            "***********************************************************************************"

        ],

        "includeToc": true,

        "tocHeader": [

            "* These are the line numbers for the included files:"

        ],

        "tocEntry": "* ${lineNo}\t\t${entryPath}",

        "tocFooter": [

            "***********************************************************************************/"

        ],

        "entryHeader": [

            "/*********************************************************************************",

            "* Start: ${entryPath}",

            "**********************************************************************************/",

            "print 'Start: ${entryPath}'",

            "GO"

        ],

        "entryFooter": [

            "GO",

            "/*********************************************************************************",

            "* End: ${entryPath}",

            "**********************************************************************************/",

            "print 'End: ${entryPath}'",

            "GO",

            "/*********************************************************************************/"

        ],

        "fileFooter": []

    }]

}

```
