Get-Datastore - format screen output as Tab Seperated Value (TSV)

My command below runs fine....

Get-Cluster BoateyMcBoateyFace | Get-Datastore

It get's me a list of all the datastores in that cluster "BoateyMcBoateyFace".

What I need is to format the output it gives me in a tab separated value on the screen. Not to a text file.

A little unorthadoxed from the norm but that's just me. (◔/‿\◔)

Also, if possible get it without the label headers. This will make it easier for me to parse through the output in Visual Studio.

Thanks in advanced.

Why not to use select * and choose the specific values under output.

That got me the stripped out header output I wanted.

Is it possible to format the output in Tab Separated Value?

The output now is padded with spaces.

Thanks

I went ahead and wrote VB .Net code to parse out the data I needed.

Thanks
