When a user asks for limited output from Chocolatey, it is not uncommon to pipe that output to `ConvertFrom-String` or `ConvertFrom-Csv` and manually add headers to get back an object. This allows for getting a header row back so that the end user doesn't need to add their own headers and discern what they are. This also adds a StringResources static class that allows us to store constant strings in and use them across the code to reduce duplication.

When you use
--limit-outputor-ryou can pipe the output toConvertFrom-Csvand provide-Delimiter '|'to get a PowerShell object. In order to get a proper one, you need to also pass in-Header. It would be beneficial to output a header row for the user so they don't need this.The output I envision for
choco list -lo -rwould change from:to (something like):
In order to make this change in a way to not break existing scripts/workflows, I would suggest adding a feature
showHeaderOnLimitOutputthat defaults to disabled with the possibility of defaulting it to enabled in a future version.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
