The two cmdlets you use to send command or script output to a file are Set-Content and Add-Content. Set-Content – writes new content which replaces the content in a file.Get-Content – retrieves the content of a file.Clear-Content – removes all content of a file.Add-Content – appends content to a file.If there are more techniques for file output, I expect to see them in the comments to this article. Then they whisper: plus the way my mother taught me. Writing this reminds me of my friends in Portugal who tell me there are 1000 ways to cook bacalao (cod). There are (at least) four ways to get output to a file. Once you have created the code (script, fragment, or a single command) that creates the output you need, you can use several techniques to send that output to a file. Or, you might want to view it in a text editor or print it out later.
You might want to run a command or script that outputs information to a file and sends this file via email or possibly FTP. But sometimes, what you want is getting output to a file, not to the console. If the default output is not what you need, use the formatting cmdlets like Format-Table and Format-List to get what you want. You type a command – PowerShell gives you the output it thinks you want. One of PowerShell’s great features is the way it automatically formats output. Q: Is there an easy way to save my script output to a text file rather than displaying it on screen?Ī: Of course – there are multiple ways to do just that! PowerShell and Output
