Streamwriter output different as Out-File

Question

Hello,
I have a script where I write value's to an file with Out-File:
"<<<local>>>" | Out-File $NagiosLogFile -Append -encoding ASCII
$Export_W3SVC | Out-File $NagiosLogFile -Append -encoding ASCII
$Export_App_Pool | Out-File $NagiosLogFile -Append -encoding ASCII
$Export_IIS_Site | Out-File $NagiosLogFile -Append -encoding ASCII
$Export_NetTCP_8093 | Out-File $NagiosLogFile -Append -encoding ASCII
$Export_IIS_Read_File | Out-File $NagiosLogFile -Append -encoding ASCII
"" | Out-File $NagiosLogFile -Append -encoding ASCII
The output  at file is:
<<<local>>>
0 PolyOP_service_W3SVC - Der W3SVC Service is running
0 PolyOP_ApplPool_ZWACMESBGHCON_Client - Application Pool PolyOP_ApplPool_ZWACMESBGHCON_Client is running
0 PolyOP_ApplPool_ZWACMESBGHCON_Server - Application Pool PolyOP_ApplPool_ZWACMESBGHCON_Server is running
0 PolyOP_WebSite_ZWACMESBGHCON_Client - IIS Site PolyOP_WebSite_ZWACMESBGHCON_Client is running
0 PolyOP_WebSite_ZWACMESBGHCON_Server - IIS Site PolyOP_WebSite_ZWACMESBGHCON_Server is running
0 PolyOP_Net_TCP_Port_8093_more_then_one_time - TCP Port 8093 is only set once at this server
0 PolyOP_Read_File_EMSDeploy_Folder - EMS Deploy directory can be read from this server
The other script methode is - streamwriter:
$sw = new-object system.IO.StreamWriter($NagiosLogFile, "True", [System.Text.Encoding]::Ascii)
$sw.writeline("<<<local>>>")
$sw.writeline($Export_W3SVC)
$sw.writeline($Export_App_Pool)
$sw.writeline($Export_IIS_Site)
$sw.writeline($Export_NetTCP_8093)
$sw.writeline($Export_IIS_Read_File)
$sw.writeline("")
$sw.close()
The output is:
<<<local>>>
0 PolyOP_service_W3SVC - Der W3SVC Service is running
System.Object[]
System.Object[]
0 PolyOP_Net_TCP_Port_8093_more_then_one_time - TCP Port 8093 is only set once at this server
0 PolyOP_Read_File_EMSDeploy_Folder - EMS Deploy directory can be read from this server
The values for $Export_App_Pool and $Export_IIS_Site are arrays - script part:
$DateTime = (Get-Date -Format yyyy.MM.dd-hh:mm:ss)
$nagios_State = "0"
$ServiceName = "ApplPool_"+$item.Name
$Export_App_Pool1 = "$nagios_State PolyOP_$ServiceName - Application Pool PolyOP_$ServiceName is running"
$Export_App_Pool += $Export_App_Pool1
$Export_App_Pool = @($Export_App_Pool)
What is the problem?
I Hope somebody can help me,

Hello,
thank you it works but I have now a new line in the log file, what I doesn't need.
<<<local>>>
0 PolyOP_service_W3SVC - Der W3SVC Service is running
0 PolyOP_ApplPool_ZWACMESBGHPRO_Client - Application Pool PolyOP_ApplPool_ZWACMESBGHPRO_Client is running
0 PolyOP_ApplPool_ZWACMESBGHPRO_Server - Application Pool PolyOP_ApplPool_ZWACMESBGHPRO_Server is running
0 PolyOP_WebSite_ZWACMESBGHPRO_Client - IIS Site PolyOP_WebSite_ZWACMESBGHPRO_Client is running
0 PolyOP_WebSite_ZWACMESBGHPRO_Server - IIS Site PolyOP_WebSite_ZWACMESBGHPRO_Server is running
0 PolyOP_Net_TCP_Port_8093_more_then_one_time - TCP Port 8093 is only set once at this server
0 PolyOP_Read_File_EMSDeploy_Folder - EMS Deploy directory can be read from this server
 How can I remove this line after this two arrays?
