Merge txt files ( Unicode ) in Data Merge with interface

Question

Hello,

I have a folder with 100 txt files ( unicode text ) and an Indesign file ( .indd file )

I need to:

1. open Indesign file

2. get all txt files in folder to indesign

3. merge them and record all text files

4. save indesign files with the text files names as indd and pdf in a folder

Is that possible to do?

Thank you

Yes, but not throught the built-in DataMerge.

You need a 3rd party custom script / solution - like my ID-Tasker tool - but it's Windows only and not free - here is a link to one of the rules / commands:
