Running function with "Write-Host" and redirect output to file does nothing.

Question

Hello,
I created this function:
function TicketSolutionInformation {
Write-Host "User has been created." -ForegroundColor Green
TicketSolutionInformation | Out-File -filepath ("123" + ".txt") -append
but the file 123.txt is always empty. Why ?

Answer 1

Write-Host will write text to console, not pipepeline so you'll always get nothing.
Consider changing function to this:
function TicketSolutionInformation {
Param(
[switch]$Passthru
Write-Host "User has been created." -ForegroundColor Green
if($Passthru){
"User has been created."
}TicketSolutionInformation -Passthru | Out-File -filepath ("123" + ".txt") -append
