From microsoft document manual, I found an option for 'Get-Clipboard' of PowerShell.
The option is '-Raw' :
-Raw : Gets the entire contents of the clipboard. Multiline text is returned as a single multiline string rather than an array of strings.
But I couldn't find any difference for adding '-Raw.
For example,
powershell.exe "Get-Clipboard -Format text " > MyText.txt
and
powershell.exe "Get-Clipboard -Format text -Raw" > MyText.txt
gives the same results. (Regardless of the content of the clipboard) Can you give me an example such that the use of '-Raw' option makes something different ?
$tempfile = New-TemporaryFile
@'
some
different lines
of text
'@ | Set-Content $tempfile
Get-Content $tempfile | Set-Clipboard
$text = Get-Clipboard
$text.count
3
$text = Get-Clipboard -Raw
$text.Count
1
As it said it is a single string, rather than an array of strings.
Here is one example of the many times it matters.
$text = Get-Clipboard
$text -match 'different'
different lines
$text = Get-Clipboard -Raw
$text -match 'different'
true
