PowerShell Out-file Specify the method of file encoding _powershell

This article describes how to use PowerShell to create a text file, and the text file is encoded using UTF-8.

It's not easy to create a UTF-8 encoded file. Think about creating a UTF-8 encoded file in C # Hongo is a pain in the neck.

Later, after a careful thought, we can take this concept to a second. We can use Out-file this cmdlet to enter a string into a file to create a file, and when creating a file, specify its encoding as UTF-8.

In other words, we can get a UTF-8 encoded empty file using the following command.

Copy Code code as follows:

PS c:\users\spaybow> "" | Out-file-encoding UTF8 D:\2.txt

Note: After the-encoding parameter utf8, the middle cannot take the short horizontal line. Otherwise, you receive the following error message:

Copy Code code as follows:

PS c:\users\spaybow> "" | Out-file-encoding Utf-8 D:\2.txt
Out-file: Cannot perform parameter validation on parameter ' Encoding '. Parameter "Utf-8" does not belong to Validateset
property to specify the collection "Unicode,utf7,utf8,utf32,ascii,bigendianunicode,default,oem".
Please provide one of the parameters in this collection and retry the command.
