DONE: Append/Concatenate/Merge text files, but prepend filenames
4wd:
Only to look up the Add-Content command, otherwise was just a mashup of other small scripts I've done.
Was trying to get Add-Content to work instead of Out-File since it takes care of character encoding depending on the input files without having to specify it like Out-File.
Couldn't seem to get the pipes right though.
I like PowerShell because it reminds me a lot of ARexx on Amiga, you can write off the cuff small bits of code that leverage the system and other programs, run them instantly, and get reasonably non-cryptic error messages back when you screw up.
Plus it's part of the system, I don't need to install IDE, compiler, etc, etc.
Edit: DUH! Just found how it's done using Add-Content :-[
Wonderful what happens when you have a good sleep ...
--- Code: PowerShell ---Add-Content -Path 'output.txt' -Value (Get-Content $_.Fullname)
Modified my original post
Can also throw a Sort in the pipe if a particular order is wanted, eg.
Get-ChildItem ..\*.ps1 | Sort CreationTime | ...
Get-ChildItem ..\*.ps1 | Sort -Descending Length | ...
etc etc

I was going further back to the source in my memories, i.e. REXXw on OS/2

Yeah, there is that too. I use csc quite a bit for that reason too for simple things- no external dependencies. The right tool for the job :Thmbsup:
