Re: [msh]get-content of large files.

Try replacing your foreach line with this:

get-content $filename | foreach {$_}

Thanks for your prompt answer!

My code is quite simple. The script looks like:

param ( $filename = (read-host "Filename pls"))
foreach ( $line in get-content $filename -readcount 1) # Try with
readcount
{
$line
}

Here is my environment:

Windows XP SP2 - Monad Beta 3.0 - Locale US
Windows server 2003 SP1 x64 - Monad Beta 3.1 - Locale US

My script is reading Exchange Messages tracking logs, IIS 6 log and ISA
server 2004 log files.. The average size is 40 MB
The log files are text files in ASCII format and use the W3C standard
format

Try specifying the -ReadCount parameter with a value of -1.

MSH > get-content largefile.txt -readcount -1

Hi,
I notice that when you use the cmdlet get-content on large files, it
takes some times before seeing output on the console.
I also observe that during the excution of the command, the virtual
memoery used by the process msh.exe can augment up to 300% and this
virtual memory is not released afterwards.
My question is: Is it a normal behavior? Any suggestion to use a
different cmdlet?

Thanks
/Dung
