PowerShell tee-Object generates empty lines in output, when used in db2 commands

问题


When I use powershell tee-object cmdlet to save the output to a file, blank lines are created between each actual line. Output gets doubled and ugly, in both screen output, as well in the redirected file.

regular command, and output:

# db2 connect to sample

   Database Connection Information

 Database server        = DB2/NT64 11.5.0.0
 SQL authorization ID   = SAMUEL
 Local database alias   = SAMPLE

but, when you use Tee-Object against it... here is what happens:

# db2 connect to sample |  Tee-Object test.out


   Database Connection Information



 Database server        = DB2/NT64 11.5.0.0

 SQL authorization ID   = SAMUEL

 Local database alias   = SAMPLE

In both screen output, and also in the generated file a well:

# type test.out


   Database Connection Information



 Database server        = DB2/NT64 11.5.0.0

 SQL authorization ID   = SAMUEL

 Local database alias   = SAMPLE

Also, your 2nd test reveals that the problem is not about using tee-object cmdlet, but actually, just piping the output causes it...

Another information, If I perform a redirect to a file, from a regular windows cmd window, the issue does not happens,

from cmd window:

E:\PowerShell_Tests\db2mon>db2 connect to sample > cmd.out

E:\PowerShell_Tests\db2mon>type cmd.out

   Database Connection Information

 Database server        = DB2/NT64 11.5.0.0
 SQL authorization ID   = SAMUEL
 Local database alias   = SAMPLE

but, performing the same redirect from a powershell session, created the double lines again:

# db2 connect to sample > pwsh.out
PS [Samuel]E:\PowerShell_Tests\db2mon
# Get-Content pwsh.out


   Database Connection Information



 Database server        = DB2/NT64 11.5.0.0

 SQL authorization ID   = SAMUEL

 Local database alias   = SAMPLE

Does any one has any clue on what is going on, and how can I "fix" it ?

Thanks


回答1:


As your Format-Hex output implies, db2 - bizarrely - uses CRCRLF ("`r`r`n" in PowerShell terms) rather than the usual CRLF sequences ("`r`n") as newlines (to separate its output lines) - it is a behavior it shares with sfc.exe.

When you print to the display, this anomaly doesn't surface, but it does when you capture or redirect the output, such as via Tee-Object.

The workaround is to eliminate every other line, which discards the extra lines that result from PowerShell interpreting a CR ("`r") by itself as a newline too:

$i = 0
db2 ... | Where-Object { ++$i % 2 } | Tee-Object test.out

Update: You've since provided a convenient wrapper function based on this solution in your own answer.




回答2:


for other Db2 DBAs out there trying to use powershell as me..

I have created this small hack, to handle this for all my db2 ps sessions.

Edit your powershell user profile, creating an function and alias as above:

$Home[My ]Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 :

# db2 settings for powershell
Set-Item -Path env:DB2CLP -value "**$$**"

# Handle db2 output, avoiding doubled lines due 'CRCRLF' pattern
Function Handle-Db2 {
    $i = 0
    db2 $args | Where-Object { ++$i % 2 }
}

New-Alias -Name "db2ps" Handle-Db2

Now, if you want to use the hacked version, instead of calling db2 .... you can use db2ps ... instead and have a proper output.

# db2ps describe table employee | Tee-Object employee.out

It would be nice if IBM fix this odd CRCRLF behavior on db2 commands on windows. Until this not happens, enjoy!
