powershell - Copy content form all text files from a directory and write to single text file -

The code below will copy a file of contents from the text file to the directory, but it will overwrite the existing file content:

Go-ChildItem $ FilePath -Recurse-Include * .docx, * folder \ abc \ source.txt | For every object {copy-item $ _. Full name} - Destination C: \ destination.txt}

I want to add all content to the same file.

get content and add-content Instead of using copy-item :

  go-babyitem $ filepath -rice-sune * .txt | ? {$ _. Full name-like '* folder \ abc \ source.txt'} | Go-content | Ad-content 'C: \ destination.txt'  

Edit: As @Biconbits has correctly told comments for your question, you only Word documents can not be added and text files, because there are previously binary files (a bunch of XML files in which zip archives, in fact). However, if you want only the (text) content of the document to be added, then you can do something like this:

  $ wd = New Object - COM 'Word.Application' Get-ChildItem $ FilePath -Recurse | ? {$ _. Extension - That's '.docx' -or $ _. Full name-like '* folder \ abc \ source.txt'} | {%. $ {Doc = Txt '{Get-content $ path}}} | Ad-content 'C: \ destination.txt' $ wd.Quit ()  

Note: I get the Get-ChildItem partial path To work with the -in clude parameter, I therefore moved those conditions into a where-object filter.
