PowerShell_ISE Scripting: ConvertTo-Comment

December 31, 2008 Dec 31, 2008 12/31/08
PowerShell Team
Let me combine a couple of things.  1) When I posted my PowerShell_ISE profile, I included a function Goto-Line that is now builtin to the ISE so I reposted the blog with this function commented out. I commented it out instead of deleting it because I wanted to provide an example of how to do it. 2) Vivek Sharma left a comment asked ...

I was just reading a blog post where they were showing al the SCVVM commands in a list.  I was going to refer them to my blog which shows how the display that list of commands in a really nice format.  I have no idea where that blog post is so I decided to search for my name and scvvm.  Here is what I got:   I think I'm ...

I messed up. First let me remind you that what you have are CTP bits and that CTP bits are subject to change.  It turns out that we are tweaking the PowerShell_ISE object model and that the profile I posted does not work with CTP3.  I’m sorry for that screw up. You can use the amazing PowerShell_ISE to fix this problem.  All...

[UDPATE - the original post had a script which did not work with CTP3 so I've replaced it with the correct version.  Apologizes for the screw up. I've updated the attached file as well. - jps]  I thought I would share my PowerShell_ISE profile with you.  I haven't done anything to clean this up or document it which I ...

If you are reading this, you probably already use PowerShell but you might know someone that has resisted installing it and trying it out.  Thomas Lee posted a blog HERE with a pointer to a Virtual PowerShell lab on TechNet. This allows you to Terminal Serve into a hosted virtual machine and kick the tires. In other words you get to run ...

As you’ve probably picked up by now – Advanced Functions are super important. We've been showing a bunch of scripts that have embedded help using comments and dot-tags. Let me take a second and drill into this. We believe that PS will be used in a wide range of; scenarios: simple one liners; personal ad hoc scripts; scripts you share ...

PowerShell v2 Pipelining in 73 (make that 53) Characters

PowerShell Team
I started using Twitter and saw a request from Thomas Lee for help about pipelining in CTP3.  The thing about Twitter is that the messages have to be tiny so I wasn’t sure I could answer using it.  It turns out I can solve this problem AND give a usage example in 73 characters.  Here goes: PS> function t{param([Parameter(...

If you're like me, you've got a browser favorites folder that is full of wonderful PowerShell code snippets. Ideally, it would be great to have a way to bring those favorite snippets into PowerShell so that my favorites folder becomes a code library. Doing this presents several challenges. The first (and easiest to solve) is getting the web ...
