Powershell scripts not writing it to output file

Question

Hi,
Below is my script which loops through all sites and web in a site collection and if the particular web part is added in a page, it will give the page URL and it should be written to a output file.
function enumerateWebParts($Url)
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication $Url #Get WebApplication URL
foreach($web in $webApp | Get-SPSite -Limit All | Get-SPWeb -Limit All) #foreach loop to iterate through all sites and webs of WebApplication
if ([Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::IsPublishingWeb($web)) #Check if site is a publishing site
$pWeb = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.PublishingWeb]::GetPublishingWeb($web)
$pages = $pWeb.PagesList
foreach ($item in $pages.Items)
$fileUrl = $webUrl + "/" + $item.File.Url
$manager = $item.file.GetLimitedWebPartManager([System.Web.UI.WebControls.Webparts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared);
$wps = $manager.webparts
foreach ($type in $wps) #loop through each type found $wps
#Write-Host " type searching";
Write-Host $type.GetType().Name;
if ($type.GetType().Name -eq "RightMenu") #if webpart $type -like KWizCom select webpart object
Write-Host "found";
$wps | select-object @{Expression={$pWeb.Url};Label="Web URL"},@{Expression={$fileUrl};Label="Page URL"},DisplayTitle, IsVisible, @{Expression={$type};Label="Type"}
Write-Host $fileUrl;
$page=$pweb.Url+$fileUrl;
Write-Output $page;
else #if web is not a publishing site
$pages = $null
$pages = $web.Lists["Site Pages"]
if ($pages)
foreach ($item in $pages.Items)
$fileUrl = $webUrl + "/" + $item.File.Url
$manager = $item.file.GetLimitedWebPartManager([System.Web.UI.WebControls.Webparts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared);
$wps = $manager.webparts
foreach ($type in $wps)
if ($type.GetType().Name -eq "RightMenu")
$wps | select-object @{Expression={$Web.Url};Label="Web URL"},@{Expression={$fileUrl};Label="Page URL"},DisplayTitle, IsVisible, @{Expression={$type};Label="Type"}
Write-Host $fileUrl;
$page=$pweb.Url+$fileUrl;
Write-Output $page;
else
# Write-Host “… completed processing” $web
$row = enumerateWebParts(‘http://sptest.danfoss.net’) #call the enumerateWebParts function pass it the URL for the web application
I run the command through D:\RightMenu.ps1 | Out-File D:\RightMenu.txt

Try

You can always redirect the output an exe to a file like so (even from cmd.exe):
powershell c:\test.ps1 > c:\test.log
Within PowerShell, you can also redirect individual commands to file
but in those cases you probably want to append to the log file rather
than overwrite it e.g.:
$logFile = 'c:\temp\test.log'
"Executing script $($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path)" > $logFile
foreach ($proc in Get-Process) {
$proc.Name >> $logFile
"Another log message here" >> $logFile
