Powershell 将 export-csv 与 Windows Powershell ISE 中显示的格式匹配

Question

I have a script that exports evens from the eventlog like:

Get-EventLog -LogName Application | Where-Object Source -Match "my application"  | export-csv "$FileDate.csv"

When I open the CSV it does not look how I want it too. It shows

EventID,"MachineName","Data","Index","Category","CategoryNumber","EntryType","Message","Source","ReplacementStrings","InstanceId","TimeGenerated","TimeWritten","UserName","Site","Container" 0,"DESKTOP-ID94AN3","System.Byte[]","21425","(0)","0","Error","Finished executing project 'Testproject' Execution Package 'Failure' Execution failed Start Time: 21/12/2020 19:47:52 End Time: 21/12/2020 19:47:56 on server: DESKTOP-ID94AN3 -Logmessage

After text-to-columns:

With information in columns where it should not be. It seems to combine the 2 windows from the event viewer. The 'upper' window with the errors and the 'lower' window with the details. All I want is the upper window.

If I run this code in Windows Powershell ISE:

Get-EventLog -LogName Application | Where-Object Source -Match "Myapplication"

It looks how I want it too look (after using text to columns):

   Index Time          EntryType   Source                 InstanceID Message                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
   ----- ----          ---------   ------                 ---------- -------                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
   21425 Dec 21 19:47  Error       Myapplication LogEn...            0 Message 1                                                                                                                                                                 
   21424 Dec 21 19:47  Information Myapplicationr LogEn...            0 Message 2

How do I get my CSV export to look like this also?

Answer 1

You can make it look the way you want by selecting only the specific columns you care about, before sending the results over to Export-CSV .

Get-EventLog -LogName Application | Where-Object Source -Match "edgeupdate" | 
    Select -first 10 -Property Index, Time, EntryType, Source, InstanceId, Message | 
      Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation
