How do I concatenate two text files in PowerShell?

Question

I am trying to replicate the functionality of the cat command in Unix.

I would like to avoid solutions where I explicitly read both files into variables

Answer 1

To keep encoding and line endings:

Get-Content files.* -Raw | Set-Content newfile.file -NoNewline

Note: AFAIR, whose parameters aren't supported by old Powershells (<3? <4?)
