PowerShell output into text file (File Formating Issue)

Question

Hi,

I am using PowerShell to get the information about the Disk Volumes and saving the output into text file.
The saved text file is not well formatted and I am wondering if there is a way to improve the file formatting of the saved file?

Question1 : Possible to improve file formatting of the saved text file?

Question 2: Instead of text file, is it possible to generate a well formatted HTML or PDF file?

Here is what I am doing currently:

And the saved output is as follows:

Answer 1

If you want HTML, it takes a bit more work:

$props = "DriveLetter", "FriendlyName", "FileSystemType", "DriveType", "HealthStatus", "OperationalStatus", "SizeRemaining", "Size"  
get-volume |   
    Select-Object $props |  
        ConvertTo-Html |   
            Out-File c:\junk\gv.htm  
# optional -- if you want to see the web page right away  
c:\junk\gv.htm  

Answer 2

It looks to me as if the problem lies with choice of fonts used to display the text. Try using a font that uses a fixed pitch (i.e., all characters are of the same width).
