TXT File Unifier

This Python script combines multiple numbered TXT files into a single file named unified.txt. It reads files from a source directory, merges their content in numerical order of the filenames, and saves the result in a specified destination directory.

Features

Automated Sorting: Automatically sorts and processes files based on the numeric ordering in their filenames.
Directory Management: Creates the destination directory if it does not already exist.
Simple and Efficient: Merges files in a straightforward and efficient manner.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Python installed on your machine. The script is compatible with Python 3.x. You can download and install Python from here.

Installation

No installation is needed. Just ensure you have the Python interpreter installed.

Usage

Prepare Your Files:
- Place all your .txt files that you want to unify in the files directory. Ensure each file's name contains a number that represents its order.
Run the Script:
- Navigate to the directory containing the script.
- Run the script using Python:
```
python unify_txt_files.py
```
Check the Output:
- Once the script has completed execution, check the result directory for the unified.txt file.

How It Works

The script performs the following steps:

Reads all filenames in the files directory.
Filters and sorts files based on the numeric value in their filenames.
Sequentially reads each file's content and writes it to unified.txt in the result directory.

Customization

If you need to change the source or destination directories or the output file's name:

Open unify_txt_files.py with a text editor.
Modify the values of source_directory, destination_directory, or output_filename at the bottom of the script.

Troubleshooting

Missing Files: Ensure all files are correctly numbered and placed in the files directory.
Permission Issues: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to read from the source directory and write to the destination directory.
