hello anopm,

no idea if this works i didn't tested it
hope this works out for you.
but split it again no idea
why even split it again if you merge them in 1 file :lol:

Code: Select all

        ' The actual "merge". 
        ' The XmlDocument that we want to merge from.
        Dim xdFrom As New XmlDocument()
        xdFrom.Load(Application.StartupPath & "XmlTest2.xml")

        ' The XMLDocument that we want to merge to.
        Dim xdTo As New XmlDocument()
        xdTo.Load(Application.StartupPath & "XmlTest.xml")

        ' Loop through all of the nodes in the "from" document.
        ' We don't want to copy the root node in this instance.
        For Each nod As XmlNode In xdFrom.DocumentElement.ChildNodes
            ' Import the node to our "to" document.
            Dim tmpNod As XmlNode = xdTo.ImportNode(nod, True)
            ' Append this temporary node to the end of the "to" document
            ' but inside the root element.
            xdTo.DocumentElement.AppendChild(tmpNod)
        Next nod

        ' Save the "to" document with it's newly appended nodes.
        xdTo.Save(Application.StartupPath & "XmlTest.xml")

Well before you append a new file to an existing one, you must write a marker and then the other file, after that you can split the new file by using the marker.

Code: Select all

Old file contents
<split marker>
New file contents
