I am wondering how does one merge several files into one. I recently lost a large true crypt container and recovered the data into separate new files. As recovering it as a whole would take to long and be to annoying as it would require my attention for the most of the time.

So how would you merge several files into one? In an order for example file 2 data in win hex into the end of file 1 in win hex etc.

Also I have the personal license for win hex.

Thanks in advance for any help.

As with ordinary text processors, one can paste a block at the end of the current text. This can be done with binary data by a hex editor as well.

Because this process is tedious, WinHex has a second method for this: Tools | File Tools | Concatenate.

So if I had File 1 with the start of the file and file 2 with the rest of the file. What would I do?

Do I concatenate with file 2 over file 1 or the other way around.

Thanks in advance

Tools | File Tools | Concatenate asks you to specify a destination file first, and then source file #1, source file #2, ...

The source files remain unchanged.

I think that's clear.
