Having transitioned more and more to using PowerShell 5.0, instead of 4.0, I thought I would pass along one tip when using it. Typically when working with Exchange PowerShell and listing object attributes. I like to select a single column of the data and past it into a CSV file or documentation I am making. However, in PS 5.0, the default ‘Mark’ in PowerShell has changes. Instead of a single column, the select tool selects entire likes like so:
So how do we change this behavior? There is a setting to change that behavior. First we need to click on the properties of the PowerShell window like so:
From here we can see there is a setting called ‘Enable line wrapping selection’:
If this value is unchecked, PowerShell 5.0 will behave like 4.0 in terms of copy options.
This is a pretty simple tip, but it should come in handy for anyone used to PowerShell 4.0 and has now upgraded or converted to PowerShell 5.0.
