I want to write the output from a Format-List command to the event log so I need it as a string.
Is there a generic way to do this that doesn't depend on knowing what is being formatted?

To send a PowerShell command's output to the Out-File cmdlet, use the pipeline. Alternatively, you can store data in a variable and use the InputObject parameter to pass data to the Out-File cmdlet. Out-File saves data to a file but it does not produce any output objects to the pipeline.
You can use Select-String similar to grep in UNIX or findstr.exe in Windows. Select-String is based on lines of text. By default, Select-String finds the first match in each line and, for each match, it displays the file name, line number, and all text in the line containing the match.
The echo command is used to print the variables or strings on the console. The echo command has an alias named “Write-Output” in Windows PowerShell Scripting language. In PowerShell, you can use “echo” and “Write-Output,” which will provide the same output.
Use the Out-String cmdlet:
