| # So far, we've been using default PowerShell behaviour for formatting output
# Although in the last lesson we did filtering data with Where-Object and Select-Object
# We didn't really focus on how data is presented on the screen. Let's see what can be done here.
# Let's have a look at local
Get-LocalGroup
Get-LocalGroup | Format-List
#Alias is FL
#Like with Select-Object, we can specify properties we're after
Get-LocalGroup | fl -Property name,sid
#Another example when List might be easier to read then table
Get-CimInstance win32_ComputerSystem
## Format Table
#ipconfig...
Get-NetIPConfiguration OR GIP
Get-NetIPConfiguration | FT
GIP | FT -Wrap
GIP | -Properties *
GIP | FT -Autosize
### Grouping
Get-Service | Format-Table -GroupBy Status
Get-Service | Sort-Object Status
Get-Service | Sort-Object Status | Format-Table -GroupBy Status
### What if I want to show all properties, but they don't fit on screen
GIP | FL *
# Or we can display to GUI
gip | Select-Object * | Out-GridView
### Speaking of Out...
by default, PowerShell adds Out-Host to every command you run, so that it displays on the screen
But we can Out- to some other places
Get-Command Out-*
Get-Service | Sort-Object Status | Format-Table -GroupBy Status | Out-File c:\temp\services
Get-Service | Sort-Object Status | ConvertTo-Html | Out-File c:\temp\services.html
