I readily admit that I spend a great deal of my day at a PowerShell prompt. My day is very much run from the command-line, and has been for quite some time. This used to be a drab, gray existence. But I've been finding ways to liven things up. Here's one way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PSScriptTools <\/a>module includes a number of custom format files with alternate views. You need to make sure the module is imported before you can use any of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Import-Module PSScriptTools<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
But once loaded, I can run a command like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The format view uses a mapping table stored in $PSAnsiFileMap. Files are color-coded based on a type or category. The downside, is that if I want this output I have to remember to pipe to Format-Table and specify the view.  But I want this to be the default behavior. Here's how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, I need the path to the format.ps1xml file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$f = (Get-Module PSScriptTools).ExportedFormatFiles | where-object {$_ -match 'filesystem-ansi'}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The value of $f should be something like C:\\Program Files\\WindowsPowerShell\\Modules\\psscripttools\\2.33.1\\formats\\filesystem-ansi.format.ps1xml.  To make this the default I will run this command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Update-FormatData -PrependPath $f<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The PrependPath parameter tells PowerShell to let this file take precedence. This setting only lasts for as long as PowerShell is running. If I want this behavior all the time, I can put these code snippets in my PowerShell profile script. This will work for both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the new setting, the ANSI-colored view is now my default and I don't have to include any extra steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
If you'd like to see what other formatting options are in the module, take a look at the README<\/a>. Nothing is permanent so I hope you'll play, have some fun, and maybe find something that you didn't realize needed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
