  I wrote a simple script, that searches through the files for a certain string and writes those matched lines into a new file. Why doesn't it overwrite the file when I execute the script again? In documentation says that Out-File overwrites existing file by default. In my case it only adds same lines to the output file. What am I missing?

  This is the script:

  $FilePath = 'E:\test'
  $files = Get-ChildItem $FilePath\*.txt
  $rezultat = @()
  
  foreach ($file in $files) {
       $rezultat+= Get-Content $file | Select-String $string -Context 0 -SimpleMatch
  }
  
  $rezultat | Out-File E:\test\rezultat.txt
