Hi, I'm new to the forum and I need some help joining some unique split zip files. First of all, I've carefully read all the .BAT-Mac related posts I could find but no luck since they are mostly about running a .BAT for some java games. Hopefully, some of you experts can help me out.

I am guessing my problem should be a little easier. Here's the files I have: XXX.bat, XXX.001, XXX.002, XXX.003, XXX.004. I know this is very easy on a PC, you just need to run the XXX.bat file and it'll comine the main files into one (it's supposed to be a giant zip file). I open the XXX.bat file with Textedit and it contains some very basic command lines:

copy /B XXX.001 + XXX.002 XXX.zip
copy /B XXX.zip + XXX.003 XXX.zip
copy /B XXX.zip + XXX.004 XXX.zip

So, is there a way to rewrite those so Mac can understand? If so, how do you execute them after rewriting them? I'd appreciate your help in advance!

P.S. Since I know these are literally split zip files, I've tried using HJSplit but it requires the files to have two extensions. And I don't know if the newer versions of decompression programs can combine files like those but my Stuffit 10.0 certainly can not (I'm still on OSX 10.3.9.) ...

It looks like what you need is the cat command. Open the Terminal, navigate to where the files are and type

cat XXX.001 XXX.002 XXX.003 XXX.004 > joined.zip

Then open joined.zip in the regular way.

That's exactly what I needed! I've tried so many different ways without success. This forum is awesome. Thanks so much!

You can also do the Windows version in one line:
copy /B XXX.001 + XXX.002 + XXX.003 + XXX.004 XXX.zip
