In this recipe, we pipe the results of the Get-Process cmdlet to a CSV and XML file.

Add the following script and run it:
$csvFile = "C:\Temp\sample.csv" Get-Process | Export-Csv -path $csvFile -Force -NoTypeInformation #display text file in notepad notepad $csvFile $xmlFile = "C:\Temp\process.xml" Get-Process | Export-Clixml -path $xmlFile -Force #display text file in notepad notepad $xmlFile
PowerShell provides a few cmdlets that support exporting data to files of different formats. The Export-Csv cmdlet saves information to a comma-separated value file, and the Export-Clixml cmdlet exports the piped data to XML:
$csvFile = "C:\Temp\sample.csv" Get-Process | Export-Csv -path $csvFile -Force -NoTypeInformation #display text file in notepad notepad $csvFile $xmlFile = "C:\Temp\process.xml" Get-Process | Export-Clixml -path $xmlFile...
