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.

First, forget about trying to do all the files automatically.  You need 
to
find, by trial and error, issuing commands in a command window, a 
command
that will take one pair of mono files and produce the merged result you
expect, in the place you expect.

Next, do you have any experience of writing scripts or programs in any 
programming
language?  If you do, it's probably easier to develop a script/program 
in a
language you understand.  If you don't then someone will be able to show 
you how
to adapt the command you find for one pair of files, to work for a 
subset or
even perhaps all of your files.
