    First of all you should read this: This forum is for scripting questions rather than script requests

    Then you should not post pictures here. They are mostly unreadable.

    And last but not least - if you use Powershell you should stay with the original Powershell syntax. At least in scripts or here in the forum do not use aliasses - especially when you're newbie.

    To list files of a directory you can use Get-ChildItem, to get the content of a file you can use Get-Content. Powershell has a built-in help system. You should learn the basics of Powershell - here are some good starting points:

    A welcome to a new PS user could sound a bit friendlier... especially when Microsoft started to push PS as the default shell instead of CMD...

    To see the text in the screen shot better, use your browser's zoom function.

    @OP: what is the output of command:  "get-command more"  ?

    Some malware or you have installed or created a file called "more.com".  It I somewhere on your path.  You must find and remove it.  "more is a built-in function that seems to be missing.  Perhaps you are running PS 1 on XP?

    In any case the error indicates a broken installation or either Windows or PowerShell. "more.com" is an old and no longer existing DOS program.

    If you are running PS v1 or V2 then you will be using a dummy more.com that should be in the system folder.

    dir C:\Windows\system32\more.com

    All later versions of PowerShell use an internal function:
