Windows::Inventory::Report files of particular extension::UPDATE

I seem to make this mistake a lot. My initial goal was to create a csv format file and import to excel or someplace. But I did not account for the case where a comma is in the data. It is never in the front of my mind that a comma is a valid character in a filename.
The corrected script is below.
