I have a powershell script that is hashing the MAC address, then posting it into a file and a clipboard.

$hash = [System.BitConverter]::ToString($md5.ComputeHash($utf8.GetBytes($MAC)))
$hash | clip
$hash | Out-File $Env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\this.txt 

The issue I am having is that a carriage return is being exported to the clipboard. I don't want that.

Is there a way of stopping that happening?

Additional info - When I paste the text that is on the clipboard into a hex editor I see 0D0A

The clipboard function would be fine if I could just loose that some how? Thanks
