wevtutil query to write an output on a single line - powershell

Question

Am trying to import / read Windows server event logs to a text file, using a wevtutil command. I use the following command to write my logs to file.txt:
$ wevtutil qe Application \rd:true \f:text (reads application logs)
and the sample output of my command, is:
Event[1]:
Log Name: Application
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP
Date: 2016-03-29T13:02:27.000
Event ID: 8196
Task: N/A
Level: Information
Opcode: N/A
Keyword: Classic
User: N/A
User Name: N/A
Computer: WIN-IONOGQTF9O5
Description: License Activation Scheduler (sppuinotify.dll)
Event[2]:
Log Name: Application
Source: Microsoft-Windows
Date: 2016-06-29T13:02:57.000
Event ID: 3444
Task: N/A
Level: Critical
Opcode: N/A
Keyword: Classic
User: N/A
User Name: N/A
Computer: WIN-IONOGDFFF9O5
Description: AIRO.Activation code(sppuinotify.dll)
(Actually,two sample logs).
but, i want to write my log as a single line to .txt file, rather than the above multi-line output for a single log. is there a wevtutil command utility to write a log to a single line, like below:
Event[1]:Log Name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP Date: 2016-03-29T13:02:27.000 Event ID: 8196 Task: N/A Level: Information Opcode: N/A Keyword: Classic User: N/A User Name: N/A Computer: WIN-IONOGQTF9O5 Description: License Activation Scheduler (sppuinotify.dll)
Event[2]:Log Name: Application Source: Microsoft-Windows Date: 2016-03-29T13:02:27.000 Event ID: 8196 Task: N/A Level: Information Opcode: N/A Keyword: Classic User: N/A User Name: N/A Computer: WIN-IONOGQTF9O5 Description: License Activation Scheduler (sppuinotify.dll)
Thanks!

$logname = "Application"
$events = Get-EventLog -LogName $logname
$arr = #()
$counter = 1
foreach($event in $events){
$arr += "Event[$counter]:Log Name: $logname Source: $($event.Source) Date: $($event.TimeWritten) Event ID: $($event.EventID) Task: $($event.Category) Level: $($event.EntryType) ..."
$counter++
}
$arr | out-file events.txt
If you need to have Opcode, Keyword etc. use Get-Winevent instead of Get-Eventlog
