Powershell Script Truncated Result - powershell

Question

I have the following script,
$filteracl = {$_.IdentityReference -match "User" -and ($_.FileSystemRights -band 131241 -or $_.FileSystemRights -band 278)}
$objects = Get-ChildItem "C:\" -Recurse -Force
foreach ($i in $objects)
{
$i.GetAccessControl().Access | Where $filteracl | Select `
#{n="Path";e={$i.fullname}},
#{n="User";e={$_.IdentityReference}},
#{n="Permission";e={$_.FileSystemRights}}
}
However, the output from the path is being truncated. I have no idea how to solve this.

Answer 1

Try Format-Table -Wrap like:
$filteracl = {$_.IdentityReference -match "User" -and ($_.FileSystemRights -band 131241 -or $_.FileSystemRights -band 278)}
$objects = Get-ChildItem "C:\" -Recurse -Force
foreach ($i in $objects)
{
$i.GetAccessControl().Access | Where $filteracl | Select `
#{n="Path";e={$i.fullname}},
#{n="User";e={$_.IdentityReference}},
#{n="Permission";e={$_.FileSystemRights}} |
Format-Table -Wrap
}
Since the whole statement is in a loop and Format-Table displays headers, so you'll see multiple headers. To get rid of that you can edit your script to store the output in an Array and then finally display when the loop is complete. Something like:
$filteracl = {$_.IdentityReference -match "User" -and ($_.FileSystemRights -band 131241 -or $_.FileSystemRights -band 278)}
$objects = Get-ChildItem "C:\" -Recurse -Force
$OutputView = #()
foreach ($i in $objects)
{
$s = $i.GetAccessControl().Access | Where $filteracl
$output = New-Object PSObject
$output | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Path" -Value $i.fullname
$output | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "User" -Value $s.IdentityReference
$output | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Permission" -Value $s.FileSystemRights
$OutputView += $output
}
$global:outputView |
Select-Object Path,User,Permission
