Output the contents of a file to the powershell host window

This seems like something that should be painfully obvious, but for whatever reason I can't figure it out. From within powershell, I'd like to be able to print the contents of a text file to the host window (or pipe it into another command). I'm looking for so开发者_运维问答mething like this:

PS C:\> {some command} README.TXT
These are the contents of the Readme.txt file!

You are looking for:

get-content README.TXT

In short:

gc README.TXT

If you are used to cat, you can use that too, it is just an alias for the above in Powershell.

It exists also :

${full path file}

Ex :

${c:\silogix\t.txt}

---

try it:

get-content .\README.TXT
