Concatenate network path + variable

How can I concatenate this path with this variable?

$file = "My file 01.txt" #The file name contains spaces

$readfile = gc "\\server01\folder01\" + ($file) #It doesn't work

Thanks

There are a couple of ways. The most simple:

$readfile = gc \\server01\folder01\$file

Your approach was close:

$readfile = gc ("\\server01\folder01\" + $file)

You can also use Join-Path e.g.:

$path = Join-Path \\server01\folder01 $file
$readfile = gc $path
