Export-PSAnsiFileMap
SYNOPSIS
Export a PSAnsiFileMap to a file.
SYNTAX
Export-PSAnsiFileMap [-Passthru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The PSScriptTools module includes a JSON file that is automatically imported as the global PSAnsiFileMap variable. This variable is used for the custom ANSI formatted table view, among other module commands. If you wish to customize the file map, you can use the Set-PSAnsiFileMap command. These changes are not permanent and will be overwritten the next time you import the PSScriptTools module. To use your customized settings, you need to export your modified $PSAnsiFileMap object with this command.
The command will export the settings to a JSON file called psansifilemap.json in the root of $HOME. The next time you import the PSScriptTools module, it will use this file if found. To revert to the default file map either rename or delete the file in $HOME.
