Split output in multiple lines

[ganapa2000]

Hi,

I am trying to get the output from linux VM and I am getting the output in single line. But I would like to split the output in multiple lines

I tried as $(($result.output) -split '.') but no luck

Please help!!!

Script

$session = New-SSHSession -ComputerName $vm -Credential $Cred –AcceptKey
$result = Invoke-SSHCommand -SSHSession $session -Command $cmd
$result.output

Output

McAfee agent service is already running. McAfee common services is already running. McAfee compat service is already running

I would like to get this output in multiple lines as below

McAfee agent service is already running.

McAfee common services is already running.

McAfee compat service is already running

Did you try with

$result.Output.Split('.').TrimStart(' ') -join "`n"

LucD,

I am getting the output with extra blank line as below

McAfee agent service is already running.

McAfee common services is already running.

McAfee compat service is already running.

 

but I would like to see without the blank line in between as below.

McAfee agent service is already running.
McAfee common services is already running.
McAfee compat service is already running.

Then try joining the lines with just a CR

$result.Output.Split('.').TrimStart(' ') -join "`r"

Lucd,

Above command is omitting first two lines and I am getting only the last line.

And what does this return?

$result.Output.Split('.').TrimStart(' ')

[ganapa2000]

it give me output in one single line.

McAfee agent service is already running McAfee common services is already running McAfee compat service is already running

You will have to check what exactly is in the output.
Are there any CR-LF already in there?

I don't have that SW so I can't check I'm afraid.

[ganapa2000]

May I know what is CR-LF?

[LucD]

Carriage Return (`r) and Line Feed (`n).

Save the output to text file (Set-Content), then open the file in an editor that can display hex codes (like for example Notepad++).
Look for 0x0A and 0x0D between the 3 lines.

Depending on the OS on which the output is generated (Windows or Linux), you might see CR-LF or LF.

Hi LucD,

I hereby attached the output, I see below output

If that is the actual content of $result.Output, try with this

$result.Output.Replace("`r`n",'|').Split('|').Where{$_ -ne ''}

The reason for the Replace is that a Split only works on 1 character at the time, not a string

that worked perfect!!! Thank you very much
