Out-GridView

Short description
Sends output to an interactive table in a separate window.

Syntax


Description
The Out-GridView cmdlet sends the output from a command to a grid view window where the output is displayed in an 
interactive table.


Because this cmdlet requires a user interface, it does not work on Server Core installations of Windows Server.


You can use the following features of the table to examine your data:


-- Hide, Show, and Reorder Columns: To hide, show, or reorder a column, right-click a column header and then click 
"Select Columns."


-- Sort. To sort the data, click a column header. Click again to toggle from ascending to descending order.


-- Quick Filter. Use the "Filter" box at the top of the window to search the text in the table. You can search for 
text in a particular column, search for literals, and search for multiple words.


-- Criteria Filter. Use the "Add criteria" drop-down menu to create rules to filter the data. This is very useful for 
very large data sets, such as event logs.


-- Copy and paste. To copy rows of data from Out-GridView, press CTRL+C (copy). You can paste the data into any text 
or spreadsheet program.


For instructions for using these features, type "Get-Help Out-GridView -Full" and see "How to Use the Grid View Window 
Features" in the NOTES section.
