Write-Output

Write an object to the pipeline. If the command is the last command in the pipeline, the objects are displayed in the console.

Syntax
      Write-Output [-inputObject] Object[] [CommonParameters]

Key
   -inputObject Object
       The object(s) to send along the pipeline.
       A variable, command or expression that gets the objects.

   CommonParameters:
       -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -WarningAction, -WarningVariable,
       -OutBuffer -OutVariable.

Write-Output writes objects to the success pipeline. To have output appear only on screen use write-host or Write-Warning instead.

Write-Output may be used to display strings and other objects on the console. However, because the default behavior is to display the objects at the end of a pipeline, it is generally not necessary to use Write-Output. For example, get-process | write-output is equivalent to get-process

Examples

Write a string to the pipeline, which by default will appear on the screen:

PS C:\> $myvar="The quick brown fox"
PS C:\> write-output $myvar
