Let me combine a couple of things. <\/P>\n
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.<\/P>\n
2) Vivek Sharma left a comment asked about programmatically controlling indentation so I gave a couple of pointers to the objects required to program the editor.<\/P>\n
So let\u2019s take those 2 and put them together and write a function which will convert the selected text into a PowerShell comment (using another CTP3 feature \u2013 block comments\u201d). <\/P>\n
Here goes:<\/P>\n
function ConvertTo-Comment <\/FONT> <\/P>\n Give that a try and then start experimenting on your own. Think TECO<\/A>, TPU<\/A>, Emacs<\/A> etc. Go crazy and share share share.<\/P>\n Enjoy!<\/P>\n Jeffrey Snover [MSFT] 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.
