Remove Hyphens from output

I have a script that pulls the SHA1 hash off a file and sends the output to a logfile. Currently the output separates includes hyphens. I'm curious if I can edit the output as it is written to remove the hyphens, or if I need edit the logfile after it has been written to.

$Log = "C:\Temp\Log.txt"

Function Get-Hash{

$file = $Suspect
$algorithm = 'SHA1'


$fileStream = [system.io.file]::eek:penread((resolve-path $file))
$hasher = [System.Security.Cryptography.HashAlgorithm]::create($algorithm)
$hash = $hasher.ComputeHash($fileStream) #$fileStream.close()$fileStream.dispose()

[system.bitconverter]::tostring($hash)

}

get-process | ForEach-Object {$_.Modules} | foreach {

if (!$_.Company)
{$Suspect = $_.FileName
$HashOut = Get-Hash $Suspect
Add-Content $Log ($_.FileName + " " + $HashOut) }
}
 
You just need to remove hyphens?

Here is a simple example. You can use the -replace parameter of any variable to perform this operation.

PS C:\so> $numberswhashes = "12-45--5-5646-","770-97-606-","41124"
PS C:\so> $numberswhashes
12-45--5-5646-
770-97-606-
41124
PS C:\so> $numberswhashes -replace '-',''
124555646
77097606
41124
