Is there a way to wordwrap results of a Powershell cmdlet?

I couldn't find something built in that allowed to to word-wrap to an arbitrary width, so I wrote one - a bit verbose but here it is:

function wrapText( $text, $width=80 )
{
    $words = $text -split "\s+"
    $col = 0
    foreach ( $word in $words )
    {
        $col += $word.Length + 1
        if ( $col -gt $width )
        {
            Write-Host ""
            $col = $word.Length + 1
        }
        Write-Host -NoNewline "$word "
    }
}

Format-Table has a -Wrap switch to wrap the last column. Since the last column of the output of Get-Member is pretty big already, this will produce readable results.

Another option is Format-Wide (but it doesn't wrap, so you are limited to console width):

Get-Process | Get-Member | Format-Wide Definition -Column 1

You can also try Format-Table -wrap. For example:

(get-process -id 3104).startinfo.EnvironmentVariables | Format-Table -wrap

Output in table structures are auto-formatted to fit the width of the screen, truncating long values in the process if necessary.

Pipe the results into the format-list command to get verbose, vertical formatting of the results.
