Vista - Hebrew fonts in powershell

Hi all,

First - I think this topic can be valid not only to the Hebrew
language and powershell.

While I user Get-qaduser to get group memberships of user, part of the
group the users are members in Hebrew in the AD.

Now, while the script run, if I copy from the powershell the "strange"
characters and paste it into Notepad I see the Hebrew OK, but while
the script write it to Notepad I see only question marks.

This is the script:

$File_Title = "Groups of users"
out-file -filepath C:\scripts\monad\groups.txt -inputobject `
$File_Title -encoding ASCII -width 50;

$users = get-content C:\scripts\monad\member_of_project.txt
$counter = $users.Length
write-host $counter

for ($u = 0 ; $u -le $counter; $u++ )
{
write-host "working on user " $users[$u] -f yellow
$MemberOf = (Get-QADUser $users[$u]).MemberOf
foreach ( $group in $MemberOf )
{
$groupDN = get-qadgroup $group
$groupCN = $groupDN.cn
write-host $groupCN
$Write_to_file = $groupCN
Out-File -filePath C:\scripts\monad\groups.txt `
-append -inputObject $Write_to_file -encoding ASCII -width 50;
}
}

Hi Did,
Out-file does what it sounds like (not to notepad), and if you explicitly
use -encoding ASCII instead of leaving the standard UNICODE the result
might be expectable ;-)

Out-File -filePath C:\scripts\monad\groups.txt `
-append -inputObject $Write_to_file -width 50;

could do better in your case.

Hi,
For Hebrew I solved the problem by insert the UTF8 where the ASCII
was.
Now it's work.

Thanks,
