Display issue with Chinese about get-childitemcolor HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi-

I cannot reproduce this as it is working in my machine (see the screenshot below). Are you using the latest version?

from get-childitemcolor.

Oops you meant they are not ordered correctly? With a quick look, I actually could not see what you are talking about --- could you please elaborate?

from get-childitemcolor.

Yes, I use the latest version. I think I didn't explain the issue correctly. I test a kind of scenario that there are a lot of folders with English name and Chinese name, and a lot of English name and Chinese name files. The picture shows the name of the folders and files are not aligned.

Oh I understand --- thanks for the elaboration. I think it must be that the character length calculation in Get-ChildItemColorFormatWide is broken for unicode characters, since I see this with Korean characters as well. Let me see if I can fix this quickly.

It does not look like it would be easy to fix. The issue is for these characters, .Length method returns the character length, but in printing, these characters takes 2 spaces instead of 1. For example,

> "한글파일".Length
4

I will get back to this when I have more time. Sorry!

That's great. Looking forward to the fix. Thanks!

You may need something like wcwidth. A reference could be this: https://github.com/timoxley/wcwidth
