function Pop-Indent { <# .SYNOPSIS Pops text indentation. .DESCRIPTION Pops text indentation. This removes indentation from text, based off of the first indented line. .NOTES If the text has multiple lines, the first non-whitespace line will determine how much indentation is removed. This way, if there is nested indentation within the text, it will be unaffected. .EXAMPLE Pop-Indent ' pop indent will trim initial indentation ' #> param( # The text to outdent [string] $Text ) process { # Split the text into lines $textLines =@($text -split '(?>\r\n|\n)') # If there was only one line, change nothing if ($textLines.Length -eq 1) { return $text } # Set the target indentation to zero. $targetIndent = 0 $newlines = # Walk over each line and adjust it's space. foreach ($textLine in $textLines) { if ($textLine -match '^\s{0}$') { # If the line was only whitespace '' # return a blank line. } else { # If we have the target indentation, if ($targetIndent) { # remove that many leading whitespace characters. $textLine -replace "^\s{$targetIndent}" } # Otherwise else { $null = $textLine -match '^(?<i>\s{0,})' # determine the target indentation. $targetIndent = $matches.i.Length # and replace all of the leading whitespacee. $textLine -replace '^\s{0,}' } } } # Join all of the new lines together and we have our outdented text. $newlines -join [Environment]::NewLine } } |
