How to export csv down instead of across-CodePudding

I have a function that simply pulls the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records to a file and the console.

Name          : Domain.com
SpfRecord     : v=spf1 ip4:?.1?.??.153 include: <Etc?>
SpfAdvisory   : An SPF-record
DmarcRecord   : v=DMARC1; 
DmarcAdvisory : Domain has a valid DMARC record.
DkimRecord    : <Etc>
DkimSelector  : <Etc>
DkimAdvisory  : <Etc>

When I $InvokeReturnValues | Export-Csv 'C:\Reports\SPFetc.csv' -NoTypeInformation The information exports across the csv left to right in columns. How can I change that so the information exports like above?

CodePudding user response：

Since you don't actually want a CSV file, don't use Export-Csv.

Out-File or Set-Content will do just fine:

$InvokeReturnValues |Format-List |Out-File

Depending on the input data type, Format-List may not be explicitly necessary - in this case where you have an array of custom objects with more than 4 properties, PowerShell will automatically format it using the List view anyway.

If you're considering use of the data for further automation - an automatic diff of two versions of the data for example - you might want to stick with CSV.

You can always re-create the list view in your console by simply importing the data again:

$oldData = Import-Csv path\to\SPFetc.csv
$oldData |Format-List
