Getting powershell to scroll horizontally instead of word wrap
Is it possible to get powershell to horizontally scroll for long lines of text instead of having them wrap automatically to the next line?
I’m running python, and if you’re familiar with python dataframes you can think of it like a speadsheet. I’m having python output many columns, and right now it’s wrapping the output to separate lines. Think of having a sheet in excel where for more columns instead of having a horizontal scroll excel wraps it – it’s very unreadable.
Right now, I have to redirect my output to a .txt file and then open in notepad, where I can horizontally scroll without word wrap, to see the output in a readable fashion. However, if I could make powershell horizontally scroll instead of wrapping, this would save me a step.
Alternately, if not possible in powershell but possible in plain old command prompt I can run python in the command prompt. However, I’d prefer not to as I can’t SSH into remote servers from plain command prompt, and sometimes I need to run python remotely so it would be useful to do it in powershell, thanks.
