Powershell echo equivalent

Question

I want to echo output to Powershell stdout. The suggested methods of using Write-Host (Debug/Versbose) writes to console as expected but when I redirect the output to a file with >> it keeps writing to the console.

What is the full equivalient to "echo" in Powershell? Echo works but the use of it is discouraged from my code editor (VS Code).

@Cililing This isn't a good dupe, because the accepted answer deals only with outputting something to the console / debug / verbose streams. OP requires that output be redirectable which requires output to the success stream. — zett42

echo in PowerShell is just an alias to Write-Output, and you can always use it instead of its alias.

The reason why Visual Studio Code discouraged you to use echo is just because that aliases will downgrade you code's readibility.
