Old-school display: 1 L..e..t..t..e..r...... a..t...... a...... t..i..m..e ...

Hi!

The output of many commands in PS get slapped onto the display so fast, I find myself not remembering what command I typed-in.  I have to scroll up a few pages to see...

Is it possible to slow the output stream down, so we can read it as it passes by on the screen?  ..even if it's an error.

I found this at techrepublic:

 

xxxx
function EasyView { process { $_; Start-Sleep -seconds .5}}
Get-ChildItem C: | EasyView
xxxxx

 

but it outputs 1 full record at a time..  I'm looking for 1 letter every half second

 

Like in the Matrix, or better yet like in War Games with Matthew Broderick...

 

Any hack out there?

 

Thanks!!

 

Dan
