Is there a convenient method to access .NET class documentation (i.e. the MSDN documentation) from within PowerShel similar to "man 3" in UNIX shells? ...
I'll be honest I feel dumb about this one. I am trying to just remove the first line of about 5000 text files before importing them. I am still very new to powershell so not sure what to search for or how to approach this. My current concept using pseudo-code set-content file (get-content unless line contains amount) However, I can't ...

Hi, I have a site in Sharepoint 2007 (not mine personally) with some subsites. For each subsite, and each of its pages, how can I get all the webpart's properties? This is using Powershell (Server does not have Visual Studio, another matter). Thanks ...
I have a ~20000 jpg images, some of which are duplicates. Unfortunately, some files have been been tagged with EXIF metadata, so a simple file hash cannot identify the duplicated one. I am attempting to create a Powershell script to process these, but can find no way to extract only the bitmap data. The system.drawing.bitmap can only r...
How can I run an executable in PowerShell and through an if statement decide whether it succeeded or failed? More specifically I'm trying to get devenv.exe to build a solution from a PowerShell script and I need to know whether it succeeded or failed. By failed, I mean that the build has failed and I'm assuming devenv is sending somethi...
Hi Folks, I am writing a powershell script that will act as a build compliance test for our servers. One of the things I need to do is detect if IPv6 networking has been disabled. WMI indicates that this information can be found in the IPAddress Property of Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration but can be both IPv6 or IPv4. This does not g...

If I have a script that handles state information that's a bit more complex that can be stored in variables, what's the best option for a small in-memory database? Sqlite is an option, though that would be an external dependency. XML might do, though it's non-relational. Is there any consensus on a tool for this job? ...
I've written this (which works): function ForAll { BEGIN { $allTrue = $true } PROCESS { if ($_ -lt 1) { $allTrue = $false } } END { $allTrue } } $aList = (0..4) $bList = (1..4) $aList | ForAll # returns false $bList | ForAll # returns true But what I want to do is replace the ($_ -lt...
I am updating a PowerShell script that manages some .NET assemblies. The script was written for assemblies built against .NET 2 (the same version of the framework that PowerShell runs with), but now needs to work with .NET 4 assemblies as well as .NET 2 assemblies. Since .NET 4 supports running applications built against older versions ...
I have a PowerShell script that uses du.exe (Disk Usage originally from Sysinternals) to calculate the size of directories. If I run du c:\Backup in the console, it works as expected, but the same line of code run in ISE or PowerGui gives the expected result plus the error + du <<<< c:\backup + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified:...
If I use write-host to define my prompt, Powershell adds "PS>" automatically at the end. How can I use write-host so that it doesn't do that? function prompt { '> ' } #prompt: #> function prompt { write-host '> ' -foregroundcolor "green" } #prompt: #> #PS> ...
I'm using the string expansion feature to build filenames, and I don't quite understand what's going on. consider: $baseName = "base" [int]$count = 1 $ext = ".ext" $fileName = "$baseName$count$Ext" #filename evaluates to "base1.ext" -- expected #now the weird part -- watch for the underscore: $fileName = "$baseName_$count$Ext" #fil...
I have a script that presents results using out-gridview. Here is a simple example: "hello world" | out-gridview When I run the script using Run with PowerShell, it will open gridview and close it immediately after it is opened. (I think this is because gridview is not modal and the script finishes.) How to make the PowerShell wait u...
I want to be able to test if a powershell string is all lowercase letters. I am not the worlds best regex monkey, but I have been trying along these lines: if( $mystring -match "[a-z]^[A-Z]" ) { echo "its lower!" } But of course they doesn't work, and searching the interwebs hasn't got me anywhere. Does anyone know the way to do this...
I'm trying to create a cli command to have TFS check out all files that have a particular string in them. I primarily use cygwin but the tf command has trouble resolving the path when run within the cygwin environment. I figure powershell should be able to do the same thing, but I'm not sure what the equivalent commands to grep and xar...
