Log output is adding extra spaces

Hello, I am trying to write a script that will output a .log file. When I get PowerShell to parse the file with Get-Content, I find that there are extra spaces in the parsing. How can I edit my Intersystems script to output a logfile encoded differently? I think its outputting in unicode by default.

Nevermind! I found that in powershell if I use the snippet below, PS will intake the file as the listed encoding. In my case, CTerm was outputting UTF8. I brought that file into PS using Unicode, and it removed the extra spaces.

(Get-Content -Path <filepath.txt> -Encoding Unicode)
