file IO, is this a bug in Powershell?

Question

I have the following code in Powershell

$filePath = \"C:\\my\\programming\\Powershell\\output.test.txt\"

try
{
    $wStream = new-object IO.FileStream $file         


        

Answer 1

Another way would be to use just the name of the value and let PowerShell cast it to the target type:

New-Object IO.FileStream $filePath ,'Append','Write','Read'
