Today's Friday Fun comes out of a short exchange I had yesterday with Hal Rottenberg on Google Plus<\/a>. We were playing around with piping a PowerShell command to Clip.exe which dumps the output to the Windows Clipboard. I got to thinking about taking this a step further based on my needs as a writer. Often I'd like to see the results of a command and then copy and paste the results into whatever I'm working on. In other words, I need to TEE the output to two places.<\/p>\n

PowerShell has a cmdlet called Tee-Object that follows this principal. The default behavior is to write output to the pipeline AND send it to a text file.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> get-service | tee c:\\work\\svc.txt
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

I'll see the results and save them to a text file. I can also use this cmdlet to save results to a variable.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> get-service | tee c:\\work\\svc.txt<\/p>\n

Status Name DisplayName
\n------ ---- -----------
\nRunning AeLookupSvc Application Experience
\nStopped ALG Application Layer Gateway Service
\nStopped AppIDSvc Application Identity
\nStopped Appinfo Application Information
\n...
\nRunning wudfsvc Windows Driver Foundation - User-mo...
\nStopped WwanSvc WWAN AutoConfig<\/p>\n

PS C:\\> $svc.count
\n196
\nPS C:\\>
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

One approach I came up with to incorporate with Clip.exe was this:<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> get-service | tee -Variable svc | clip
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

I don't get the results immediately to the screen; they are saved to the variable. But at the same time output has been directed to the Windows Clipboard. That could be useful. But you know me, I always have to tinker a bit more and I ended up with a function called Out-Tee.<\/p>\n


\nFunction Out-Tee {<\/p>\n

[cmdletbinding()]<\/p>\n

Param (
\n[Parameter(Position=0,Mandatory=$True,ValueFromPipeline=$True)]
\n[object[]]$InputObject,
\n[alias(\"foregroundcolor\",\"fg\")]
\n[string]$TextColor=$host.ui.rawui.ForegroundColor
\n)<\/p>\n

Begin {
\n #define an empty array to hold piped in objects
\n $a=@()
\n}<\/p>\n

Process {
\n #add each piped in object to the array
\n $a+=$inputobject
\n}<\/p>\n

End {
\n #write the array to the pipeline as a string then pass to Write-Host
\n $a | out-string | write-host -fore $textColor
\n #write the array again to Clip.exe
\n $a | clip
\n}<\/p>\n

} #end function
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

This simple function takes a PowerShell expression and writes the results to the console using Write-Host and also to the clipboard. The default output will use the current console foreground color. But you can specify any other color that you would use with Write-Host. I even added some alias properties so you can use -foregroundcolor or -fg.<\/p>\n

With this function I can see the result and have it dumped to the clipboard. Because the default text color is the same as my session, I don't see any difference when using Out-Tee.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> ps | where {$_.ws -gt 100mb} | out-tee
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or if I want to pretty it up, I can add a little color.<\/p>\n


\nPS C:\\> ps | where {$_.ws -gt 100mb} | out-tee -TextColor green
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, the clipboard is just text. But now I have something easier to use to save output to the clipboard so I can paste it into my documents, assuming I like the output I see on the screen. The one caveat is that this function only works with successful commands. Errors, warnings, or verbose statements won't get dumped to the clipboard. I can think of some ways around that which I might try in a future version. But for my immediate needs this works just fine.<\/p>\n

Download Out-Tee<\/a> and give it a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
