PoshTip #16 – Writing to text file

If you need to write into a text file, you can use Add-Content PowerShell cmdlet :

$String = "Test"
Add-Content C:\output.txt $String

You can also pipe Write-Ouput to Add-Content PowerShell cmdlet :

Write-output $String | Add-Content C:\output.txt

It will not overwrite existing data in the text file.
