Question

I´m stuck on a problem…
I´m trying to format text in powershell.

Here´s what I´m trying to do:

I´ve got a plain-text file containing the employee id and mail address from an ldap export which I´ve already cleaned up and looks like this:

0001  
[e-mail]  
0002  
[e-mail]  
0003  
[e-mail]  
....  
0400
[e-mail]  

And I want convert this to the following:

0001,[e-mail]  
0002,[e-mail]  
0003,[e-mail]  
...  
0400,[e-mail] 

The only thing which I´ve found so far is that I could create an output which will look like this:

0001,[e-mail],0002,[e-mail],0003,[e-mail]...0400,[e-mail]

Can someone help me with this?!?!
