Operation Stream describes the path and Write Mode(Overwrite,Append,Column Append) between the source text and the destination text.
Operation Stream can be defined at middle of the Replace Dialog.
There are 4 types of Operation Stream:
1. InputFile -> InputPage(do replace here)-> OutputPage -> OutputFile
2. InputFile -> InputPage(do replace here)-> OutputPage
3. InputPage(do replace here)-> OutputPage -> OutputFile
4. InputPage(do replace here)-> OutputPage
User can select Write Mode(Overwrite,Append,Column Append) between every 2 elements.
After the operation, we can see the stream from the log records.
Example:
If we want to append many files into one file, the operation stream can be:
File1 > P0 > P1 > Output
File2 > P0 > P1 >> Output
...
FileN > P0 > P1 >> Output
The Operation stream can also be:
File1 > P0 > P1
File2 > P0 >>P1
...
FileN > P0 >>P1 > Output
Note: Since version 2.0, there is another easy way to Merge many files by Tools->Batch Runner menu, click "File Merge" Button. See Batch Runner part for detail.
