| Guest | Newbie - Writing to host and a text file I would like to list some information about services and write the information to the console and to a file. Here's my script and a few questions: $strComputer = "server1" Get-WmiObject win32_service -ComputerName $strComputer | Select-Object Name,State,StartMode,StartName | Out-File $strComputer+"_services.txt" 1. How do I write it to the console as well? When I try Write-Host it returns unformated text, so don't think that's appropriate here. 2. How do I concatenate the filename so it's "server1_services.txt". It seems to ignore the + operator. Thanks |

| Guest | Re: Newbie - Writing to host and a text file Thanks. I still can't work out how to use the + operator to create the file name server1_services.txt? With VBscript you would just use strComputer & "_services.txt" "Jeffery Hicks" <"jhicks[at]SAPIEN.com" wrote: > On Thu, 15 Feb 2007 11:38:07 -0800, FreddieF wrote: > > > I would like to list some information about services and write the > > information to the console and to a file.
