Redirect in PowerShell

[Don Wells]

I ran the following command line in PowerShell and it provided the expected results.

Code: Select all

Get-WmiObject -Class "win32_quickfixengineering" 

I attempted to redirect the output with the following, and of course it failed.

Code: Select all

Get-WmiObject -Class "win32_quickfixengineering" > "C:\Updates.txt"

Can someone steer me in the right direction; please.

Many thanks in advance.

Outright guess, but would this work?

Code: Select all

Get-WmiObject -Class "win32_quickfixengineering" > C:\Updates.txt

Thanks for driving me back for another attempt Rudy. Our intuition was correct in that the DOS redirect works in PowerShell. My problem was lack of access to the root directory. The following script created the file in my current directory.

Code: Select all

    Get-WmiObject -Class "win32_quickfixengineering" > "Updates.txt"

Since there are no spaces in the filename, it works just as well without the quotes.

TX for the feedback.
