PowerShell 7.3 - advanced patterns with Get-Content and Encoding When Reading Large Files
I tried several approaches but none seem to work. Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm working with an scenario when using `Get-Content` to read large text files in PowerShell 7.3. When I try to read a file larger than 1GB, the output seems to be truncated, and I receive a warning about exceeding the memory limits. I need to process these files line by line without loading the entire file into memory. I attempted to specify an encoding using the `-Encoding` parameter, but the scenario continues. Here’s the command I'm using: ```powershell Get-Content -Path 'C:\Path\To\LargeFile.txt' -Encoding UTF8 -ReadCount 0 ``` The warning I receive is: ``` Get-Content : The input stream is too large. This operation would exceed the memory limit for this process. ``` I've also tried using `-TotalCount` to limit the number of lines read, but that’s not suitable for my use case since I need to process every line. I considered using `StreamReader`, but I'm unsure how to implement it properly for this scenario. Can anyone provide guidance on how to efficiently read large files in PowerShell without running into memory issues? For context: I'm using Powershell on Linux. Thanks in advance! What am I doing wrong?
