How do I increase the column width in Powershell to avoid truncation?

Question

_{Tuesday, October 25, 2011 12:11 AM}

When I run this command, my IPV6 address is truncated, I cannot determine how the bleep I get Powershell to not truncate the data =>

PS C:\> get-clusterresource IP1 | get-clusterparameter Address

Object                        Name                          Value                         Type
------                        ----                          -----                         ----
IP1                           Address                       <strong>2001:4898:e0:3132:bdc:aaa8...</strong> String

Thanks!

Bloody ... I found it two seconds after I posted, figures!

PS C:\ get-clusterresource IP1 | get-clusterparameter Address | Format-Table -Wrap -AutoSize

Object Name    Value                                Type
                                   
IP1    Address 2001:4898:e0:3132:bdc:aaa8:8bbd:b6c2 String

Hey, thanks for posting. This was the top result in google and got me exactly what I was looking for.

There are several ways, so that maybe powershell can go through the whole list and figure out the max width needed:

| ft -autosize

| fl

| more

$a = command; $a

Make a custom object (PSTypeName = 'MyObject') and format.ps1xml file for it. 

Make the window wider

Usually the widest column is put at the end.

I found this command helpful as well.

$FormatEnumerationLimit = -1

Beware the Backstab!
