Output of winget search "" is not complete

[Frxhb]

Brief description of your issue

I would like to use winget to search for all packages and store them in a text file or a variable. Later on I would like to sort them in a list with "Name" and "ID". Unfortunately it seems like you cannot search just for winget package Names and IDs directly using winget.exe.


What I have tried so far:

Clear-Host

if (Test-Path -path "$env:temp\download_winget"){
    write-host "Folder exists. Continuing..."
}
else{
    write-Host "There is no folder called winget_download!`nCreating..."
    mkdir "$env:temp\download_winget"
    
}

$get_winget_packages = winget search . --accept-source-agreements | Out-File "$env:temp\download_winget\winget_packages.txt" -Encoding utf8

(Yes I know, you can also use winget search """")

I even tried it with a new powershell process with windowstyle maximized:

Start-Process powershell.exe -ArgumentList ("winget search ." , "| Out-File '$env:temp\download_winget\winget_packages_lol.txt' -Encoding utf8") -WindowStyle Maximized

Steps to reproduce

Clear-Host

if (Test-Path -path "$env:temp\download_winget"){
    write-host "Folder exists. Continuing..."
}
else{
    write-Host "There is no folder called winget_download!`nCreating..."
    mkdir "$env:temp\download_winget"
    
}

$get_winget_packages = winget search . --accept-source-agreements | Out-File "$env:temp\download_winget\winget_packages.txt" -Encoding utf8

gc $get_winget_packages 

Expected behavior

I want to have an output with all correct winget packages ID and Names.

Actual behavior

As you can see, I displayed with gc "$env:temp\download_winget\winget_packages.txt" the content of the earlier created file. Unfortunately some of the lines are not displayed correctly. For example:

Name                                      ID                                  Version            Ãœbereinstimmung Quelle

I did not find any solution to get all winget packages full Name or full ID using winget search .
Even running this directly in PowerShell or CMD, it will display some package Names and ID not fully. Changing the Encoding to utf32, ascii, utf7 or something else wont change anything too.

Is there a workaround to show the correct/full names of all winget packages Name and ID?

Seems like this duplicates #2603

The output is truncated to fit the terminal width in the CLI. We've got PowerShell modules and cmdlets coming out in the next release which don't truncate the output.
