Files created by Powershell are over 2X bigger than files created bytext editor or cmd.exe.
I'm trying to build telnet scripts using Powershell and run them with
the Telnet Script Tool (TST) but files created by Powershell are not
recognized as valid text/script files by TST.
I discovered files generated by Powershell are more than twice the
size of plain text files created outside of Powershell.
Here is the test:
[PowerShell]
"test"> test.a
[Cmd.exe]
echo test> test.b
A 'dir' of these files from a shell reveals:
05/16/2008 09:34 AM 14 test.a
05/16/2008 09:34 AM 6 test.b
*Notice the size of the files.
What's going on? The test.b file is appropriately 6 bytes: "test\r\n"
= 6 chars. Where are the extra 8 chars coming from in the PS-created
file?
The files in any text editor appear identical and Textpad said they
were identical as well.
Then I opened a PS-created file in MS Word 2007 and saw non-printable
chars before each char in the file.
Please help. Thx.
