Once you got how to copy one or several files, another common task is to concatenate several files from one directory and copy result to another. Find here how simple to do this with PowerShell -

   1: #PowerShell file concatenation example

2:

   3: # all text files from directory

   4: $source = "c:\dir\*.txt"

   5: #destination folder

   6: $dest ="d:\destination"

7:

   8: #adding content from all files matched files from destination directory to source file

   9:  add-content -path $dest -value (get-content $source)

Зеленоглазое такси по немецки

Gtrifonov — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:50:39 GMT

***

Man kann nichts wollen,
Bloß sich erholen.
Und Abends Welle
Heilt mir die Seele.

Du Taxi mit den Augen grün,
Halt bitte nun, halt bitte nun.
Und fahre bitte mich dorthin,
Wo ich erwartet immer bin.

Dort fragt mich keiner,
Wo ich denn bleibe.
Ich zweifle dran nicht –
Dort man versteht mich.

Du Taxi mit den Augen grün,
Halt bitte nun, halt bitte nun.
Und fahre bitte mich dorthin,
Wo ich erwartet immer bin.

***

Текст песни

Вот и осталось лишь снять усталость
И этот вечер мне душу лечит
Зеленоглазое такси притормози притормози
И отвези меня туда
Где будут рады мне всегда всегда
Там и не спросят где меня носит
Там я-то знаю все понимают
Зеленоглазое такси притормози притормози
И отвези меня туда
Где будут рады мне всегда всегда
Зеленоглазое такси притормози притормози
И отвези меня туда
Где будут рады мне всегда всегда
Зеленоглазое такси притормози притормози
И отвези меня туда
Где будут рады мне всегда всегда
