Need Out-file formatting help

[flouie]

Hello,I'm a newbie to Powershell and I found this script to search for files containing SSN and it seems to work but my out-file seems to be unformatted and very hard to read.Get-ChildItem -rec -exclude *.exe,*.dll |select-string "[0-9]{3}[-| ][0-9]{2}[-| ][0-9]{4}" |out-file C:1.txtCan someone tell me how do I get the out-file to only list the path and file name of the file containing SSN? I think the problem might be that the path to most of those files are very long and can be nested like 6 sub-folders deep.Thanks in advance.

This is more fun if you want it to look good.

Code: Select all

	PS>dir c:windows -rec -exc *.exe,*.dll,*.bat,*.cmd|convertto-html -property fullname > c:dirlist.htmPS>c:dirlist.htm
	[/code.
