file IO, is this a bug in Powershell?

Question

I have the following code in Powershell

$filePath = \"C:\\my\\programming\\Powershell\\output.test.txt\"

try
{
    $wStream = new-object IO.FileStream $file         


        

Answer 1

Yet another way could be to enclose the enums in parens:

$wStream = new-object IO.FileStream $filePath, ([System.IO.FileMode]::Append), `
    ([IO.FileAccess]::Write), ([IO.FileShare]::Read)
