Support for piping the output of `dotnet sln list`
See original GitHub issueI would like to use dotnet sln list
in a script to automate some actions on projects. Unfortunately, the output of dotnet sln list
is not suitable for piping into a script variable because it contains extraneous information.
Steps to reproduce
# powershell
$projectFiles = dotnet sln list
# bash
project_files=$(dotnet sln list)
Expected behavior
dotnet sln list
should only produce output that lists the files, or support a flag like dotnet sln list --porcelain
which suppresses the other info that breaks scripting.
Actual behavior
The first two lines of output are always irrelevant, and one first use, the output contains a welcome message that cannot be suppressed.
$ dotnet sln list

I too would like an option to the dotnet sln <SLN_FILE> list command to suppress the first two lines. It would be much cleaner to know that all output is usable and to not special case ignoring certain lines.
To remove the first two lines of output, you can use this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24542679/803283
