Powershell Out-file not working -

i have powershell script gathers file information on remote servers. when writing console, see results fine, don't seem getting written specified out-file:

out-file -filepath $filepath -inputobject $date -force -encoding ascii -width 50 foreach($server in $serverlists) { $result += $server $result += $break  foreach($filepath in $filepaths) {     $result += $filepath     $result += $break      $command = "forfiles /p " + $filepath + " /s /d -1 > c:\temp\result.txt"     $cmd = "cmd /c $command"      invoke-wmimethod -class win32_process -name create -argumentlist $cmd -computername $server     sleep 2     $result += get-content \\$server\c$\temp\result.txt     $result += $break     $result += $break     write-host $result     #out-file -filepath $filepath -append -inputobject $result -encoding ascii -width 200     remove-item \\$server\c$\temp\result.txt } $result += $break }  out-file -filepath $filepath -append -inputobject $result -encoding ascii -width 200 

you use same variable $filepath in 2 places: loop variable foreach loop , outside of loop. foreach loop not restore value of loop variable after loop ends. so, right after loop ends loop variable have last value of loop or value loop interrupted break command. if not want variable value overwritten foreach loop, should choose different name loop variable.
