Remove newline in write-output

[HHaskel]

I use this script to list all paths that are longer than 245 characters and it works as it should ecept that I get newline between length and the path.

get-childitem -r | % {if ( $_.FullName.Length -gt 245) {write-output $_.FullName.Length $_.FullName}} | tee-object -filepath c:\pathlength.txt

How can I get the length and the path on the same line?

The reason you're seeing this behaviour is that you're passing two values into Write-Output. If you want them on the same line you may find it most appropriate to use the two values within a single string:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | %{
if ($_.FullName.Length -gt 245) {
write-output "$($_.FullName.Length) $($_.FullName)"
}
} | Tee-Object -filepath c:\pathlength.txt

Your formatting options aren't limited to that, so if it's not outputting as you'd like please say.
