Powershell analog to 'quote words'

Question

What is the Powershell equivalent to Perl's qw() function? In v2 I can write my own with -split, but I'm assuming that there's an exiting method that I just can't find in the documentation.

Answer 1

We include this functionality in the PowerShell Community Extensions e.g.:

PS> quote-list hello world
hello
world
PS> ql hello world  # using alias
hello
world

If you don't want to install PSCX, the function is trivial:

Set-Alias ql Quote-List
function Quote-List {$args}
