How can we export results to text file and then combine all files into one file

How can we export results to a text file and then combine all files into one file automatically?

Similar question has been asked in the Ansys learning forum, and the answer to this is:

global files
files=[]
anls=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses

maxnls=len(anls)

for j in range(0,maxnls):
    res=anls[j].Solution.Children
    maxres=len(res)
    for i in range(1,maxres):
        res[i].ExportToTextFile(bool,'''D:\'''+str(res[i].Name)+'''_nls_'''+str(j)+'''_'''+str(i)+'''.txt''')
        files.append('''D:\'''+str(res[i].Name)+'''_nls_'''+str(j)+'''_'''+str(i)+'''.txt''')


with open("D:\output_file.txt", "w") as outfile:
    for filename in files:
        with open(filename) as infile:
            contents = infile.read()
            outfile.write(contents)

ANd:

import os
global files
files=[]
anls=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses

maxnls=len(anls)

for j in range(0,maxnls):
    res=anls[j].Solution.Children
    maxres=len(res)
    for myres in res:
        if str(myres.GetType())=='Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Results.UserDefinedResult':
            print(myres.Name)
            myres.Activate()
            dir = "D:/"
            path = os.path.join(dir,str(myres.Name.Split('-')[0])+".txt")#change split and file type to .xls if needed
            myres.ExportToTextFile(path)
            files.append("D:/"+str(myres.Name.Split('-')[0])+".txt")
with open("D:/output_file.txt", "w") as outfile:
    for filename in files:
        with open(filename) as infile:
            contents = infile.read()
            outfile.write(contents)
