Formatting output from a PS script
Formatting output from a PS script
- Hi all!
Is it possible to specify the format of the output from a script?
I'm running "Get-MailboxDatabase | ft name,storagegroup" from a C# script and would like it to return something I can easily split up into variables. At the moment it separates with spaces, but I would like it to use tabs instead...
Anyone?
Cheers!

- There's all kinds of options for formatting. For example, this might work for you:
PS>get-mailboxdatabase|foreach-object{$_.name+"`t"+$_.storagegroup}- Marked As Answer byLarsMK Tuesday, November 03, 2009 6:23 AM
Cool! Is `t a tab?
