New-PSFormatXML enhancement

[scriptingstudio]

A small change in one line adds a flexibility to table format.

line 253

$align.InnerText = "left"

Change it with:

$align.InnerText = if ($member.align -match "left|right") {$matches[0]} else {"left"}

Modified example:

$tName = "myThing"
$obj = [PSCustomObject]@{
  PSTypeName   = $tName
  Name         = "Jeff"
  Date         = (Get-Date)
  Computername = $env:computername
  OS           = (Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem).caption
}
# Create hashtables
$properties = $obj.PSObject.Properties.name.foreach{@{name=$_}}
# Customize alignment for Date column 
$properties[1]['align'] = 'right'
$params = @{
  Properties = $properties
  FormatType = "Table"
  Path = "C:\scripts\$tName.format.ps1xml"
}
$obj | New-PSFormatXML @params

I can see where this would be handy. I'm assuming the match can also include center.

Oh, never met center align before
