The reason for the jumbled output is the length of process names that spread through the output. This command and output are shown in the figure that follows. Now, if I use the Get-Process cmdlet and pipe the process objects to the Format-Wide cmdlet and choose only process names, the output appears jumbled. Which means, there is probably some things I have not been doing with it. It is not one of my most favorite tools, nor do I find it indispensable. Now, I will be honest, I seldom use the Format-Wide cmdlet-most of the time when I could use it, I simply forget about it. Well, I was reviewing the Formatting Windows PowerShell Output chapter for my forthcoming Windows Windows PowerShell 3.0 First Steps book by Microsoft Press (available now with Pre-Order) and I was reminded about using the Format-Wide cmdlet. Well, what do I like to do when I have a holiday? I enjoy playing around with Windows PowerShell-that’s what. Because I have a long weekend (thanks to a way cool Scripting Manager) I feel like it is a holiday or something. Well, the Scripting Wife and I are hanging out on the beach this weekend. Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here.
Summary: Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, takes some time out to play around with the Format-Wide cmdlet.
