How to output to two columns

[crookedm]

I am using a module to query a backup product and need (what I thought would be simple) the output of the commands to create the output side by side.

ie.

Node Serial
node1 12345
node2 56789
node3 10112
etc

I query the data I need using
$backupnode = GetBackupNode
$backupnode = Get-BackupNode.hostname
$backupserial = Get=BackupSerial.id

I've then outputted that with write-output and I get the nodes and serials on top of one another.
Is this a simple thing to do as I have tried foreach and while statements that have failed to provide the output.

Apologies if this is something simple.

I would use a custom object then export the results. Not knowing how your data is structured, I can only give you an idea of what it would look like.

$backups = @()

#<Get Data somehow>
Foreach ($backup in $backups)
{

$backupnode = GetBackupNode
$backupnode = Get-BackupNode.hostname
$backupserial = Get=BackupSerial.id

# Create Object
$backup_info = New-Object PSObject
$backup_info | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name 'Node' -Value $backupnode
$backup_info | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name 'Serial' -Value $backupserial

#Save individual data
$backups += $backup_info
}
$backups | Export-Csv "C:\Temp\MyBackupFile.csv" -NoTypeInformation

Something like that

That's really good of you to reply, I am not sure if people are ever interested in seeing posters attempts.
I did start to go down the object route but from the above I can see I'd confused the foreach too.
I used foreach($backuphost in $backupnode)

Also I made an error in the original post, but I dont think it will matter too much:
This
$backupnode = GetBackupNode
$backupnode = Get-BackupNode.hostname
$backupserial = Get=BackupSerial.id

Should have read:

$backupnode = GetBackupNode
$backuphost = Get-BackupNode.hostname
$backupserial = Get=BackupSerial.id

Thank you again.
