Is there a Notepad++ plugin out there that automatically combines all currently opened files into a single file?
Update: Yes, I am very aware of copy and paste :) I'm working with lots of files, and I want a solution that makes this step in the process a little bit faster than several dozen copy and pastes.
I'm aware of utilities for combining files, but I want the convenience of combining specifically the files that are currently opened in my text editor.
If there isn't a plugin out there already, I'll write one myself; I was just wondering if it exists already to save me the time of developing one.

Not my app, but this plug in lets you combine all open tabs into one file.
I installed the Python Script plugin and wrote a simple script:
console.show()
console.clear()
files = notepad.getFiles()
notepad.new()
newfile = notepad.getCurrentFilename()
for i in range(len(files) - 1):
console.write("Copying text from %s\n" % files[i][0])
notepad.activateFile(files[i][0])
text = editor.getText()
notepad.activateFile(newfile)
editor.appendText(text)
editor.appendText("\n")
console.write("Combine Files operation complete.")
It looks at all the files currently opened in Notepad++ and adds them to a new file. Does exactly what I need.
