Assuming i've already created a powergadget template, what is the best way
to read the file and out-chart it ?

In message <udpDSbaiIHA.5208@xxxxxx>, IT Staff
<jkklim@xxxxxx> writesSomething like:

PS: get-content c:\datafile.txt | out-chart <with all your parameters>

will understand the input:
get-content results.txt|select-object
@{e={$_.split(',')[0]};n='Month'},@{e={$_.split(',')[1]};n='Total'}

Then pipe that to out-chart.

Otherwise, you need to add a header to your CSV file, then you can use
import-csv to read in the file, and pipe to out-chart.

And to call your template file:
....|out-chart -template "location of your .pgt file"
