Python Challenge: Merge Text Files
Level: Beginner
Your task for today is to write a Python program that merges multiple text files into one. This is a handy skill if you ever need to combine logs, notes, or data dumps into a single file for easier analysis.
📝 Project Task
The program should:
Start with 2–3 predefined
.txtfiles (you can generate them yourself manually or use these text files here).Open and read the content of each file.
Merge them into a new file called
merged.txt.Print a success message when done.
📌 Expected Output
When run, your program should create a new file called merged.txt containing the combined content of all the source files. For example, if the input files contain:
file1.txt:
Hello from file 1
file2.txt:
This is file 2
merged.txt:
Hello from file 1
This is file 2
