Get-DTWFileEncodingSystemProviderNameFromTypeName

NAME Get-DTWFileEncodingSystemProviderNameFromTypeName



SYNOPSIS

Returns file system cmdlet provider encoding name given common encoding name.





SYNTAX

Get-DTWFileEncodingSystemProviderNameFromTypeName [-Name] <String> [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

When passed a encoding name, such as the encoding type name or BodyName or WebName,

etc. returns the valid Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.FileSystemCmdletProviderEncoding.

In other words, when you need to call Get-Content and pass in a valid Encoding value

but the values you have don't exactly match, use this function to get the right value.

Warning - if you pass in the type itself / type name of a Big Endian UTF 16 or 32

type, the function will return the Little Endian equivalent. You need to specify a

value that's more specific, say the BodyName, EncodingName, HeaderName or WebName

values off the type itself.

If no match found throws error - all valid names are in parameter set.

Also, sorry for the long function name.
