Re: How do I get format-table to drop that omission points (...)and display my data

Using csv format could also be an option for this kind of data :

ls C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc | select LastWriteTime,FullName |
out-csv -NoTypeInfo etc.csv

as csv is very suitable for tabledata.

also nice is that you can import it again

import-csv file.csv
