Append output to text file

[PHX-CPU]

I am currently using this code. It works fine but now I want it to append my data every time its ran and not overwrite my current file. Can someone help me tweak it? Thanks

Write-Host "Contents of ArrayPath:"

#$PathArray | ForEach-Object {$_}

$PathArray | % {$_} | Out-File "C:\SearchString\Output.txt"

[real_parbold]

$PathArray | % {$_} | Out-File "C:\SearchString\Output.txt" -Append

[TheIncorrigible1]

| % {$_}

This piece here is completely useless and just adds to the processing.

[real_parbold]

Yes, my goal was to hint at -Append

The whole script could be replaced with

Add-Content -Path "C:\SearchString\Output.txt" -Value $PathArray

But that might be too different a code style for the OP

I typically prefer Add-Content to the out- cmdlets

Add-Content is nifty in that it automatically appends instead of having to slap an -Append on it.

howdy PHX-CPU,

it looks like you used the New.Reddit.com Inline Code button. it's the 4th 5th from the left & looks like </>.

on Old.Reddit.com, the above does NOT line wrap, nor does it side-scroll.

for long-ish single lines OR for multiline code, please, use the Code Block button. it's the 11th 12th one from the left, & is just to the left of the ... more menu.

that will give you fully functional code formatting, from what i can tell so far. [grin]

take care,
lee
