PowerShell_ISE Scripting: ConvertTo-Comment

PowerShell Team
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 about p...

PowerShell Team
PowerShell Team

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 you ne...

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.

PowerShell Team
PowerShell Team

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 with your ...

PowerShell v2 Pipelining in 73 (make that 53) Characters

PowerShell Team
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(ValueFro...
