revision to previous code

Updated that last bit down to one line, regardless of where you are working:

ls Alias: | Sort-Object definition

Monday, May 21, 2012

Okay, here we go. Not going to comment on things I'm learning as I'm learning them just yet, but I figure I'll toss in some bits of code I think are either nifty, helpful to beginners like myself, or just something to fill up some space.

First one I played around with and turned up with a somewhat helpful reference to get used to the handling of ALIAS's.
cd Alias:
ls | Sort-Object definition
This gave me a nice reference to the current Aliases sorted by what cmdlets and functions they reference. It gave me a good idea of what's what and might come in handy if I end up adding my own aliases (not sure I will, but good to know). Example below, because why not?
CommandType     Name                                    Definition                               
-----------                ----                                        ----------                               
Alias                      ac                                          Add-Content                              
Alias                      asnp                                      Add-PSSnapIn                             
Alias                      clc                                         Clear-Content                            
Alias                      clhy                                      Clear-History                            
Alias                      clear                                      Clear-Host                               
Alias                      cls                                         Clear-Host                               
Alias                      cli                                         Clear-Item                               
Alias                      clp                                         Clear-ItemProperty                       
Alias                      clv                                         Clear-Variable                           
Alias                      diff                                        Compare-Object                           
Alias                      compare                                Compare-Object                           
Alias                      cvpa                                      Convert-Path                             
Alias                      copy                                      Copy-Item                                
Alias                      cp                                          Copy-Item                                
Alias                      cpi                                         Copy-Item
So that's that. Let's see if I find some more stuff to add.

Throwing some stuff out there

Maybe I'll toss some tidbits of stuff I've learned today. Maybe not.
