PowerShell: Avoid Bank Lines at End of a Text File

Use System.IO.File .NET Framework class’s Write AllText static method.

[System.IO.File]::WriteAllText(string path, string contents)

or [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText(string path, string contents, System.Text.Encoding encoding)

e.g. [system.io.file]::WriteAllText(“c:\fso\ioascii.txt”, $count, [System.Text.Encoding]::ascii)

More info: [system.io.file] | get-member –static WriteAllText | fl *

[system.text.encoding] | get-member –static –MemberType property
