Re: merging mono files

Manually I was able to open a pair of files in Sony Soundforge. Copy the 
right channel from the R file and simply paste it into the blank channel 
in the L file. Save. Done. Loops and markers are all left intact.

This is the process I'd like to emulate and automate for a number of 
file pairs. I can handle modification of a bat file to specify different 
pairs of folders and do a "rank" (instrument or stop) at a time. I can 
batch process renaming of the files. It's the code that I need to create 
an appropriate bat file to merge pairs of files from 2 folders. I did 
find "codes" to do this but I don't understand which parts I would need 
to modify, if at all, to direct the process to my named folders and the 
files within.

Folder 1 may be called *TrumpetL*

Folder 2 may be called *TrumpetR*

In each, there are files with identical names: 036-C.wav, 037-C#.wav, 
038-D.wav, 039-D#.wav, 040-E.wav.................. 096-C.wav

Pairing would involve merging the files sharing the same name, one from 
each of the two folders, eg 036-C.wav from folder *TrumpetL *with 
036-C.wav from folder *TrumpetR *so that the output file would be 
036-C.wav (now a stereo file following the merger) into a folder *Trumpet*.

What code would I need to achieve this? That's what I am after.
