AND operation for textfiles in MATLAB

I've 3 .txt files. I want to perform and operation to these 3 text files and to save the output in a new text file.

    fid = fopen(AND('a.txt','b.txt',c.txt');

will this work as per my requirements? but i want to save in a new text file, how can i go for it?

those text files have the image names separated by a special symbol which is not a character. i want to perform logical and for those text files.

I don't even know what that means. Are you trying to do a binary AND operation on the ASCII values of the text characters? Why on earth would you want to do that? Or are you simply trying to concatenate three text files together?

No this will not work. Just try and imagine all the possible ways that you could define the merge option for three text files and then consider why this is not a straight foward operation e.g. horzcat, vertcat, overwrite to name a few.

What you will need to do is read in each text file separately, then merge the data in MATLAB in to whatever format you require and then write this to a new text file.
