Using PowerShell to write a file in UTF-8 without the BOM

Question

Out-File seems to force the BOM when using UTF-8:

$MyFile = Get-Content $MyPath
$MyFile | Out-File -Encoding \"UTF8\" $MyPath

Answer 1

The proper way as of now is to use a solution recommended by @Roman Kuzmin in comments to @M. Dudley answer:

[IO.File]::WriteAllLines($filename, $content)

(I've also shortened it a bit by stripping unnecessary System namespace clarification - it will be substituted automatically by default.)
