I would think that would be really slow if it did. At least in batch it is really slow when using a for loop or type to parse a file and append it to the end of another. I currently have a batch file that ultimately does this. copy /b file1 + file2 + file3 filescombined I am kind of surprised that powershell doesn't have a similar command to copy and combine files together. Well not really. Everything with powershell is twice as much code most of the time. Does this stream the content to the output file? I would think that would be really slow if it did.
