You can't use write-host as it doesn't return any objects. It simply sends them to the host.

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
For some reason this one is stumping me. &nbsp;I have the following code that displays a message to the screen and I want it to write to a text file.<br />
<br />
$x = 0<br />
do<br />
{<br />
Write-Host &quot;The count is &quot;($x++)&quot; right now&quot;<br />
} while ($x -le 100)<br />
<br />
I've tried the following:<br />
<br />
$x = 0<br />
do<br />
{<br />
Write-Host &quot;The count is &quot;($x++)&quot; right now&quot; &gt;&gt;&nbsp;c:\text.txt<br />
} while ($x -le 100)<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
$x = 0<br />
do<br />
{<br />
Out-file &quot;The count is &quot;($x++)&quot; right now&quot; | c:\text.txt<br />
} while ($x -le 100)<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
$x = 0<br />
do<br />
{<br />
Write-Host &quot;The count is &quot;($x++)&quot; right now&quot; | out-file c:\test.txt<br />
} while ($x -le 100)<br />
<br />
What am I missing?

Hello Experts,

For some reason this one is stumping me.  I have the following code that displays a message to the screen and I want it to write to a text file.

$x = 0
do
{
Write-Host "The count is "($x++)" right now"
} while ($x -le 100)

I've tried the following:

$x = 0
do
{
Write-Host "The count is "($x++)" right now" >> c:\text.txt
} while ($x -le 100)

and

$x = 0
do
{
Out-file "The count is "($x++)" right now" | c:\text.txt
} while ($x -le 100)

and

$x = 0
do
{
Write-Host "The count is "($x++)" right now" | out-file c:\test.txt
} while ($x -le 100)

What am I missing?
