try on your machine

This command is using PowerShell scripting language to create a custom object containing a property called "TestKey" with a value of a string that is the letter "x" repeated 200 times.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • The string ('x' * 200) creates a string that consists of the letter "x" repeated 200 times.
  • The syntax @{TestKey = ('x' * 200)} creates an object with a property called "TestKey" and assigns the generated string as its value.
  • The pipe symbol (|) is used to pass the output of the previous command to the next command.
  • Out-String is a cmdlet used to convert the input into a multiline string. In this case, it converts the object output from the previous command into a string representation.
  • -Width ${250} is an optional parameter passed to the Out-String cmdlet, specifying the desired width of the output string. In this case, it sets the width to 250 characters.

Overall, this command creates an object with a property called "TestKey" containing a string of 200 "x" characters, converts that object into a string representation, and sets the width of the output string to 250 characters.
