Hi,
I am currently writing a automatically graded question type plugin. Therefore I override the function "grade_response(array $response)". I need to merge two uploaded files into a new file and execute the new file. I used a file manager to upload the files.
I read the documentation but I don't really get it. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tim

Are you familiar with CodeRunner? https://coderunner.org.nz/. As of recent versions, that can handle files as well as code typed into a box on-screen.
It's grading code is here: https://github.com/trampgeek/moodle-qtype_coderunner/blob/master/question.php#L316. Note the way it uses a get_attached_files helper method.
The assignsubmission_pdf plugin combines multiple uploaded PDF files into one, so it contains code that is probably a good starting point too. The source code by Davo Smith is relatively old, but it is compatible with Moodle 3.x, see https://github.com/davosmith/moodle-assignsubmission_pdf. The relevant code starts at https://github.com/davosmith/moodle-assignsubmission_pdf/blob/master/locallib.php#L304, I think.
