Parsing Request/Issue - Two Spaces instead of One

[narabug]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

If you returned data with two spaces between objects instead of a single space, we could easily parse the output. With only one space, parsing cannot consistently return accurate results.

For example:

because you are only appending a single space at the end of a value in the string, parsing becomes exceptionally difficult.

Proposed technical implementation details

Appending two space characters would make parsing this output significantly easier and more accurate.

I'll keep this Issue open for now, but I think we're looking at a different approach. For PowerShell we're going to call the COM API to get "rich" objects back. We're likely to have something in the CLI like "--json" to give output that is easier to format.
