Title
Body
I am having a little confusion about the various ways to print (echo) to the console. I have seen that there are multiple ways to write output to the console, such as: Write-Host "Hello world1" "Hello World2" Out-Host -InputObject "Hello World3" All three ways will print to the console. The middle one is somehow simpler and less verbose and easier to use. I also find that when you write a function such as: function GetValues() { "1" "2" } It still returns two strings in the pipeline: And I'm still able to print out the values: foreach ($s in GetValues) { Write-Host "s: " $s } The thing that I have found was that using just the quoted string doesn't always appear on custom hosts, and that I have had to use Write-Host to get values to print on custom hosts. Somehow I find this confusing. Is "Print something" supposed to be an alias to Write-Host or what is the intent?
