I'm trying to pipe a string into a program's STDIN without any trailing linefeeds (unless that string itself actually ends in a linefeed). I tried googling around, but I only found people trying to print to the console without a trailing linefeed, in which case Write-Host takes a parameter -NoNewLine. However, to pipe it on to another program, I need Write-Output or similar which doesn't have such a parameter. Now it seems like Write-Output isn't even the problem:
Z:\> (Write-Output "abc").Length
3
But as soon as I pipe it to another program and read the string there, I get an additional linefeed. For instance, I tried this Ruby snippet:
Z:\> Write-Output "abc" | ruby -e "p ARGF.read"
"abc\n"
I checked that the actual string received is abc\n. The same happens in several other languages (at least C#, Java and Python), so I believe it's an issue with PowerShell, not the language doing the reading.
As a further test, I replaced Write-Output itself with another Ruby script:
Z:\> ruby -e "$> << 'abc'"
abcZ:\>
(That is, there is definitely no \n on the script's STDOUT.)
But again, when I pipe it into another script:
Z:\> ruby -e "$> << 'abc'" | ruby -e "p ARGF.read"
"abc\n"
I'm fairly convinced that it's the pipe which adds the linefeed. How do I avoid that? I actually want to be able to control whether the input ends in a linefeed or not (by including it in the input or omitting it).
(For reference, I also tested strings which already contain a trailing linefeed, and in that case the pipe doesn't add another one, so I guess it just ensures a trailing linefeed.)
I originally encountered this in PowerShell v3, but I'm now using v5 and still have the same issue.
Introduction
Here is my Invoke-RawPipeline function (get latest version from this Gist).
Use it to pipe binary data between processes' Standard Output and Standard Input streams. It can read input stream from file/pipeline and save resulting output stream to file.
It requires PsAsync module to be able to launch and pipe data in multiple processes.
In case of issues use -Verbose switch to see debug output.
Examples
Redirecting to file
- Batch:
findstr.exe /C:"Warning" /I C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log > C:\WU_Warnings.txt - PowerShell:
Invoke-RawPipeline -Command @{Path = 'findstr.exe' ; Arguments = '/C:"Warning" /I C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log'} -OutFile 'C:\WU_Warnings.txt'
Redirecting from file
- Batch:
svnadmin load < C:\RepoDumps\MyRepo.dump - PowerShell:
Invoke-RawPipeline -InFile 'C:\RepoDumps\MyRepo.dump' -Command @{Path = 'svnadmin.exe' ; Arguments = 'load'}
Piping strings
- Batch:
echo TestString | find /I "test" > C:\SearchResult.log - PowerShell:
'TestString' | Invoke-RawPipeline -Command @{Path = 'find.exe' ; Arguments = '/I "test"'} -OutFile 'C:\SearchResult.log'
Piping between multiple processes
- Batch:
ipconfig | findstr /C:"IPv4 Address" /I - PowerShell:
Invoke-RawPipeline -Command @{Path = 'ipconfig'}, @{Path = 'findstr' ; Arguments = '/C:"IPv4 Address" /I'} -RawData
Code:

.Component
Requires PsAsync module: http://psasync.codeplex.com
.Parameter Command
An array of hashtables, each containing Command Name, Working Directory and Arguments
.Parameter InFile
This parameter is optional.
A string representing path to file, to read input stream from.
.Parameter OutFile
This parameter is optional.
A string representing path to file, to save resulting output stream to.
.Parameter Append
This parameter is optional. Default is false.
A switch controlling wheither ovewrite or append output file if it already exists. Default is to overwrite.
.Parameter IoTimeout
This parameter is optional. Default is 0.
A number of seconds to wait if Input/Output streams are blocked. Default is to wait indefinetely.
.Parameter ProcessTimeout
This parameter is optional. Default is 0.
A number of seconds to wait for process to exit after finishing all pipeline operations. Default is to wait indefinetely.
Details: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ty0d8k56.aspx
.Parameter BufferSize
This parameter is optional. Default is 4096.
Size of buffer in bytes for read\write operations. Supports standard Powershell multipliers: KB, MB, GB, TB, and PB.
Total number of buffers is: Command.Count * 2 + InFile + OutFile.
.Parameter ForceGC
This parameter is optional.
A switch, that if specified will force .Net garbage collection.
Use to immediately release memory on function exit, if large buffer size was used.
.Parameter RawData
This parameter is optional.
By default function returns object with StdOut/StdErr streams and process' exit codes.
If this switch is specified, function will return raw Standard Output stream.
.Example
Invoke-RawPipeline -Command @{Path = 'findstr.exe' ; Arguments = '/C:"Warning" /I C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log'} -OutFile 'C:\WU_Warnings.txt'
Batch analog: findstr.exe /C:"Warning" /I C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log' > C:\WU_Warnings.txt
.Example
Invoke-RawPipeline -Command @{Path = 'findstr.exe' ; WorkingDirectory = 'C:\Windows' ; Arguments = '/C:"Warning" /I .\WindowsUpdate.log'} -RawData
Batch analog: cd /D C:\Windows && findstr.exe /C:"Warning" /I .\WindowsUpdate.log
.Example
'TestString' | Invoke-RawPipeline -Command @{Path = 'find.exe' ; Arguments = '/I "test"'} -OutFile 'C:\SearchResult.log'
Batch analog: echo TestString | find /I "test" > C:\SearchResult.log
.Example
Invoke-RawPipeline -Command @{Path = 'ipconfig'}, @{Path = 'findstr' ; Arguments = '/C:"IPv4 Address" /I'} -RawData
Batch analog: ipconfig | findstr /C:"IPv4 Address" /I
.Example
Invoke-RawPipeline -InFile 'C:\RepoDumps\Repo.svn' -Command @{Path = 'svnadmin.exe' ; Arguments = 'load'}
Batch analog: svnadmin load < C:\RepoDumps\MyRepo.dump

Bruteforce approach: feed binary data to process' stdin. I've tested this code on the cat.exe from UnixUtils and it seems to do what you want:
# Text to send
$InputVar = "No Newline, No NewLine,`nNewLine, No NewLine,`nNewLine, No NewLine"
# Buffer & initial size of MemoryStream
$BufferSize = 4096
# Convert text to bytes and write to MemoryStream
[byte[]]$InputBytes = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($InputVar)
$MemStream = New-Object -TypeName System.IO.MemoryStream -ArgumentList $BufferSize
$MemStream.Write($InputBytes, 0, $InputBytes.Length)
[Void]$MemStream.Seek(0, 'Begin')
# Setup stdin\stdout redirection for our process
$StartInfo = New-Object -TypeName System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo -Property @{
FileName = 'MyLittle.exe'
UseShellExecute = $false
RedirectStandardInput = $true
}
# Create new process
$Process = New-Object -TypeName System.Diagnostics.Process
# Assign previously created StartInfo properties
$Process.StartInfo = $StartInfo
# Start process
[void]$Process.Start()
# Pipe data
$Buffer = New-Object -TypeName byte[] -ArgumentList $BufferSize
$StdinStream = $Process.StandardInput.BaseStream
try
{
do
{
$ReadCount = $MemStream.Read($Buffer, 0, $Buffer.Length)
$StdinStream.Write($Buffer, 0, $ReadCount)
$StdinStream.Flush()
}
while($ReadCount -gt 0)
}
catch
{
throw 'Houston, we have a problem!'
}
finally
{
# Close streams
$StdinStream.Close()
$MemStream.Close()
}
# Cleanup
'Process', 'StdinStream', 'MemStream' |
ForEach-Object {
(Get-Variable $_ -ValueOnly).Dispose()
Remove-Variable $_ -Force

Do it a simple way create a cmd process and execute it
$cmdArgs = @('/c','something.exe','arg1', .. , 'arg2' , $anotherArg , '<', '$somefile.txt' )
&'cmd.exe' $cmdArgs
Worked perfect for piping information into stdin that I wanted,
I will admit to having zero experience with the ruby -e "puts ARGF.read" command you are using after the pipe, but I think I can prove that the pipe doesn't adding a newline.
# check length of string without newline after pipe
Write-Output "abc" | %{Write-Host "$_ has a length of: $($_.Length)" }
#check of string with newline length after pipe
Write-Output "def`n" | %{Write-Host "$($_.Length) is the length of $_" -NoNewline }
#write a string without newline (suppressing newline on Write-Host)
Write-Output 'abc' | %{ Write-Host $_ -NoNewline; }
#write a string with newline (suppressing newline on Write-Host)
Write-Output "def`n" | %{ Write-Host $_ -NoNewline; }
#write a final string without newline (suppressing newline on Write-Host)
Write-Output 'ghi' | %{ Write-Host $_ -NoNewline; }
This gives me an output of:
abc has a length of: 3
4 is the length of def
abcdef
ghi
I think you might want to start looking at the ruby -e "put AGRF.read" command and see if it is adding a newline after each read.
