PowerTip: Capture Console Application Data with PowerShell

Doctor Scripto

Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to capture console application data.

 How can I parse the output from a console application by using Windows PowerShell?

Run the application as normal, but assign it to a Windows PowerShell object—for example,
         DriverQuery.exe will display output to the screen:

$INFO=(DriverQuery.exe)

This creates an array that you can pipe to Get-Member to discover available methods or to access individual lines:

$INFO[3]

$INFO[-1].substring(4,7)
