title: Format of File using Awk in PowerShell
body: <p>All I did was ls to a file, then ran a simple awk print.  I'm new to both PowerShell and Awk, but the output is obsviously not what's expected.  Can anyone explain this?  Does it have something to do with the format of the file?</p>
  
  <pre><code>PS C:\Documents and Settings\lmoser\My Documents\Test&gt; awk '{ print }' lsfiles.txt &gt; awkedlsfile.txt
  PS C:\Documents and Settings\lmoser\My Documents\Test&gt; cat lsfiles.txt
