Does this answer your question? [Is there replacement for cat on Windows](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60244/is-there-replacement-for-cat-on-windows) — phuclv, Jul 24 '22 at 03:32

Windows Powershell supports cat.

However you can do it even simpler, using a normal console:

copy /b sitefiles.tar.gz.split* sitefiles.tar.gz

This will append all files into sitefiles.tar.gz.

If you want to join specific files, or if you want to append them in a specific order (default is sorting the filenames alphabetical) append them using +:

copy /b sitefiles.tar.gz.splitaa+sitefiles.tar.gz.splitab+sitefiles.tar.gz.splitac+sitefiles.tar.gz.splitad sitefiles.tar.gz
