Downloading Games into one PGN file

Sort:

I am making a collection of particular games by downloading from this site. Problem is that it shows  only 25 games in a page that I am being able to download in one PGN file. Thus I have a number of PGN files for a particular game type. Is there any way to merge these PGN databases into one big PGN database?

Thanks

They are just plain text files. You could just open them one-by-one and append the text together in one file.

 

There are some utilities that do that too. If you look up concatenating files on your favorite search engine you can find some ways.

 

Also, v3 of the site will allow you to get more on a page at a time for download.

I think I am already using the latest version of the site. Please take a look on the screen shot which shows the home page as it looks like in my PC.

If this is Version-3, it is displaying 25 games in a page as I mentioned earlier. Please tell me if there is a way to increase the number.

Yes, that is v3. On the game archives there is a More link that can be used to load more games. All previous games stay on screen so you can do that a number of times then dowload all showing.

 

There may be a limit with that but I haven't heard that is the case.

I can't find the More link. Can you please show me with a screen shot? it would be a great help.

First, you can't do what I am suggesting from the initial archive screen which only shows recent games. You need to either go into your Daily or Live archives first.
