Write output to a text file in PowerShell

Question

I\'ve compared two files using the following code:

Compare-Object $(Get-Content c:\\user\\documents\\List1.txt) $(Get-Content c:\\user\\documents\\List2.txt)         


        

Answer 1

Use the Out-File cmdlet

 Compare-Object ... | Out-File C:\filename.txt

Optionally, add -Encoding utf8 to Out-File as the default encoding is not really ideal for many uses.
