When using a screen reader or just getting the output of a table with lots of rows, the header is no longer on the screen and the columns may no longer make sense without the context. This change adds a `-RepeatHeader` switch to `Format-Table` to enable re-outputting the header after every screen full (minus 1 row). Expectation is that the user is piping the output to a pager (e.g. less) which uses the bottom row for pager information. I followed the `AutoSize` parameter as the way to get the parameter from the cmdlet into the deep formatting object where it's needed.
change ellipsis when truncating to single unicode character
reset console output if previous column contains ESC
update existing format-table tests
If content included a VT100 ESC sequence (like changing color), this affected all output after that cell in the table. Fix is to detect that a cell contained ESC and reset the console after it. Also, change the 3 character ellipsis `...` to use the single unicode character `…` so that more text is available.
Fix https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/7767
Table formatter was overly aggressive in removing padding so even right justified output (default of numbers) gets incorrectly stripped of padding. Fix is when right justified, always add padding (because it's right justified, there's never trailing whitespace).
Use safe pattern 'columns <= columnsThresHold ? stackalloc int[columns] : new int[columns];'
Remove duplicate code.
Use common 'columnsThresHold' constant.
* In cases where the header spans multiple rows, need to correctly calculate whitespace and trim appropriately
* Use System.Span<int> and C# 7.2 language in SMA
* Added new ref assemblies to Files.wxs
refactor tests to remove similar xml content
added single column test case
- The original change to remove extra padding didn't take into account alignment.
Fix logic to accommodate left, center, and right alignment in the table format and also add tests.
- Fix ImplicitRemoting test that validates formatting to use same instance due to formatting changes in this PR
- Only use loopback to same powershell instance for formatting test as the other tests implicitly expect Windows PowerShell.
Based on standard practices, we need to have a copyright and license notice at the top of each source file. Removed existing copyrights and updated/added copyright notices for .h, .cpp, .cs, .ps1, and .psm1 files.
Updated module manifests for consistency to have Author = "PowerShell" and Company = "Microsoft Corporation". Removed multiple line breaks.
