PowerShell for-each loop output to file -

how output/append contents of foreach loop text file?

the following below not working out.

$groups = get-adgroup -properties * -filter * | {$_.name -like "www*"} foreach($g in $groups) {     write-host " "     write-host $g.name     write-host "----------"     get-adgroupmember -identity $g | select-object -property samaccountname     out-file -filepath c:\test.txt -append } 

$output =      foreach($g in $groups)     {         write-output " "          write-output $g.name         write-output "----------"         get-adgroupmember -identity $g | select-object -property samaccountname     }  $output | out-file "c:\your\file.txt" 

all saves output of foreach loop variable $output, , dumps data file upon completion.

note: write-host write host stream, , not output stream. changing write-output dump $output variable, , subsequently file upon loop completion.

the reason original code isn't working you're not writing file. in other words, you're piping no data out-file call. either way, approach prefers cache-then-dump methodology.
