How can I get the full output from PowerShell without truncation?

Asked By CuriousCoder23 On

I'm trying to run a command in PowerShell: `Get-MailboxJunkEmailConfiguration -Identity [email protected]`, but the output for 'BlockedSendersAndDomains' gets cut off and shows up with '...'. I've attempted several different methods to get the full output, like using `fl -force`, `fl *`, `fl -expand`, `fl -wrap`, and even saving it to a file, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how to retrieve the complete output?

I actually changed my `$formatenumerationlimit` to -1 a while back, and it made a noticeable difference in how PowerShell displays long outputs. Just make sure your window properties are well set up!

What exactly does setting that variable do? I'm curious about how it impacts output.

Try using `| Select-Object -ExpandProperty BlockedSendersAndDomains`. That should give you the full output without any truncation. If your terminal is still cutting the output, consider piping it into `Out-String` before displaying it. You can do something like `Get-TheThing | Out-String` or `Get-TheThing | Out-String | Set-Clipboard` so you get the whole thing in one go!

That makes sense! Using `Select-Object -ExpandProperty` is such a straightforward solution. Thanks for clarifying!

Another option is to use `| Out-GridView`. It usually handles long outputs quite well, but if it's still truncating, definitely go for `Select-Object -ExpandProperty`. That's a solid approach!

Right? I found that using `Select-Object -ExpandProperty` really solved my issue when Out-GridView didn't help.
