I am getting whitespace added to my output from the following section of code. I need to format this a certain way so for sake of finding out where this whitespace is coming from I am just outputting the variables. I even added .trim()
to make sure it wasn't coming from the variables themselves. Where in the heck is this whitespace coming from?
#sort by Name and sort Values of each
$output += foreach($icon in $table.GetEnumerator() | sort -Property Name) {
$icon.Name.trim()
foreach($type in $icon.Value | sort) {
$fa_types[$type].trim()
}
}
#Output to file
"version: " + $fa_version + "`r`nicons:`r`n" + $output | Out-File $output_file
example output file :
version: 5.13.0
icons:
arrow-circle-right solid regular calendar-week regular users solid usb-drive solid file-alt regular key solid user-graduate solid comment-dots regular plus solid calendar-check regular spinner regular stopwatch regular file-search solid user-chart solid map-marker-alt regular calculator regular apple brands
Running powershell version 5 on Windows 10.
That's a strange way to create a string... I recommend a safer way, where no output functions of PowerShell are involved:
#sort by Name and sort Values of each
$output = ""
foreach($icon in $table.GetEnumerator() | sort -Property Name) {
$output += $icon.Name
foreach($type in $icon.Value | sort) {
$output += $fa_types[$type]
}
}
#Output to file
"version: " + $fa_version + "`r`nicons:`r`n" + $output | Out-File $output_file
