Output two dimensional array to csv file in PowerShell

Question

Given

$a = (("a","b","c"),("d","e","f"))

I want $a exported to a csv file like this

a,b,c
d,e,f

Something so simple seems tricky. What's the best way, my file will be less than 40 lines long.

Try this

$a | % { $_ -join ','} |  out-file .\myfile.csv

Haha, yeah thanks. I'm just wondering why the Export-Csv only works with objects and not arrays.
