Powershell: Join-Path should accept an array of -ChildPath

Created on 5 Oct 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: PowerShell/PowerShell

When building long paths in a cross-platform way (and particularly if we're not sure of the provider), it would be very useful to be able to avoid chaining multiple calls to Join-path (which is currently a common practice).

I propose changing the -ChildPath parameter to accept a string array and be ValueFromRemainingArguments

And then iterate over the values and produce one long path.

For what it is worth the documentation is broken, the parameter is not in the syntax section currently. Odd as I added it some time ago.

It got reverted by https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-Docs/pull/2623
