Hi guys.

 

Is it possible to write the output of a script to say notepad or excel and have that file automatically open when the script finishes?

Regards

Yes, you can. Use the invoke-item cmdlet when you finish writing the output, for instance:

PS > gps | export-csv procs.csv
PS > invoke-item procs.csv

The same for text files:

PS > gps | out-file procs.txt
PS > invoke-item procs.txt

Thanks Shay. it now seems so obvious. I'm sure if I haad thought about that a little more I would have realised that I could have done that. Now there's a lesson for me!

Thanks

Lee
