Hey all. When I do this:
PS C:\repos\SearchAgent3\PlatformConnect> $List = gci . -Recurse | Where-Object Name -match 'Connector.csproj$' | select FullName; foreach ($item in $List){echo $item}I get this result:
FullName
--------
C:\repos\SearchAgent3\PlatformConnect\AzureBlobConnector\AzureBlobConnector.csproj
C:\repos\SearchAgent3\PlatformConnect\FileSystemConnector\FileSystemConnector.csprojHow do I get the same result with the "FullName" header and underscore being printed?
chcp (see https://ss64.com/nt/chcp.html and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/chcp ) if memory serves me right :-)
Will Pittenger Mochtar van de Griendt (Gitter): The problem was solved by adding -scope AllUsers.

@Aprazeth Thanks again for the continued assistance! chcp returns 437 in both cmd.exe and Powershell, which, according to the link you provided, represents United States, which is where I am.
But then I found https://stackoverflow.com/a/17177904 , which, at the very bottom, essentially reiterates your position on the matter, which is that it's either a nuance/bug of the executable (in this case, mysqldump.exe), or a chcp issue. Given that we know it's not the latter, I took a closer look at the executable and found this in the manual:
Certainly sounds related! I'm going to give that a shot.
if the parameter should accept multiple types, you'd need to set the parameter type as
PSObject
No. Thats not required. I have a "binding" class that has a constructor for all required data types. The problem was the input object which was encapsulated in a collection (with a single item).
Will Pittenger I have the function shown below:
function sum-TimeSpans
{
param
(
[string[]]
[Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments)]
$list
)
$tsTotal = New-Object "System.Object"foreach($strCurChild in $list)
{
$tsCurChild = [System.TimeSpan]::Parse($strCurChild)
$tsTotal = ($tsTotal) + ($tsCurChild)
}return $tsTotal
}
The line that parses the time span behaves in a way I don't understand. If that line doesn't store the result in $tsCurChild, it can compute it. If I take that line and run it outside the function, but including the assignment, it also works. But as shown, it fails. What am I doing wrong?
Will Pittenger I wrote this as measure-object doesn't work on timespans.

Will Pittenger Or at least it does when I skip $tsCurChild and add the return value from Parse into $tsTotal.
Will Pittenger Still throws exceptions each time I call Parse though.
