If you want to redirect the output of a PowerShell command or a Script to a file, you can make use of the > and >> operators.
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
> | Will create a new file if it doesn't exist. Overwrites the file with new output. |
>> | To append output to the end of an existing file. Creates a new file if it doesn't exist. |
Let's take a look at a few examples.
Example 1: Write Command Output to a new file
PS> echo "Hello! Welcome to Code2care.org" > message.txt
cat ./message.txt
Hello! Welcome to Code2care.orgExample 2: Append Command Output to an existing file
PS> echo "PowerShell is Fun!" >> message.txt
cat ./message.txt
Hello! Welcome to Code2care.org
PowerShell is Fun!Example 3: Write Script Output to a file
PS> pwsh ./powershell-script.ps1 > logs.txt
cat ./logs.txt
The above 3 lines of code are commented out!
