Thank you, we are having on-boarding discussions (another story) currently, and I will be using all of this. I had no expectations from the forum, and wow. Thanks for all the help.

It's been my experience that, if you can get away with it, it's MUCH easier to read/write to a CSV vs. using a COM object to manipulate an Excel file.

That's what the File resource does ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn282129.aspx ). You can specify a SourcePath, which will be the location from which to copy each file. Note that by...

As long as you exclude your output file from Get-ChildItem, I suspect it'll work either way. ls -n *.csv -ex OneWorldFile.csv | %{ ipcsv $_} | epcsv OneWorldFile.csv -NoTypeInformation
