One line of output at a time

Question

I want to get one line of output at a time while running this command.

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/rss.aspx | Format-Table -Property Title, pubDate

So I want to get one line of output and then press Enter or Any key to get the next line of out or press Ctrl+C to break the command.

I couldn't achieve it with $Host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey('NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown')

Answer 1

I'ld do something like this:

 $A = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/rss.aspx | select -Property Title, pubDate
FOR ( $I = 0; $I -le $A.Length; $I++ )
{
    $A[$i] 
    .\pause ""
}

or one liner ( look comment )

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/rss.aspx |
       select -Property Title, pubDate | 
           % { $_ ; .\pause }

My pause.ps1* file script:

param([string]$Message="Press any key to continue...")
Write-Host -NoNewLine $Message
$null = $Host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown")
Write-Host ""

*this doesn't work in ISE.
