Is there any way to convert a downloaded .rpt file to a .txt file (through
WordPad or otherwise)?

The Problem:
We download a large number of small report files each day that must be
combined into one large file. They come in as .rpt files, we open each
file in WordPad, and then must copy and paste one file on top of the other
until we end up with one large file.

I found a program that will automatically combine .txt files into one file
but it will not work with .rpt files. I need a program that will do the same
with .rpt files or find a way to convert the files to .txt.

Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
Dave

.Rpt is probably just a simple ASCII based text file. These can
usually be opened by any Text editor. Why not just rename them
to a .Txt extension

If in fact they are plain text files (ascii)

then command line would be

Copy file1.rpt + file2.rpt + file3.rpt allfiles.txt /A

see Copy /? for particulars
