Inserting Delimiter into PowerShell Output

Question

The result of Get-Process -Name explorer | select Handles,WS,CPU,Id,ProcessName | ft -HideTableHeaders returns the following output:

2623 255336448 178.125 10080 explorer 

In order to ingest this data into a third party system, I need to pipe delimit the result as such:

2623|255336448|178.125|10080|explorer 

What is the best way to achieve this?

Answer 1

How about:

(Get-Process explorer |
  Select-Object Handles,Ws,CPU,ID,ProcessName |
  ConvertTo-Csv -Delimiter '|' -NoTypeInformation |
  Select-Object -Skip 1) -replace '"',''

Only use ft (Format-Table) for easy viewing in the PowerShell console (it's not good for sending data to other applications, because then you would have to undo the formatting - so don't format in the first place).
