By default, it returns each line as a separate string. It takes a file path and returns the contents of that file as messages to the console window. If you’re not familiar with this command, it’s pretty simple. Let’s get the basics out of the way…Using the Get-Content command (aliases: cat, gc). You can use Get-Alias to look up what it means.
