Two Days PowerShell:3
Using Windows PowerShell Cmdlets
- Understanding the Basics of Cmdlets
- Typing long cmdlet names can be somewhat tedious. To simplify this process, type enough of the cmdlet name to uniquely distinguish it, and then press the Tab key on the keyboard. What is the result? Tab Completion completes the cmdlet name for you. This also works with argument names and other things you are entering.
- Because the cmdlets return objects instead of “string values,” we can obtain additional information about the returned objects. The additional information would not be available to us if we were working with just string data. To do this, we can use the pipe character (|) to take information from one cmdlet and feed it to another cmdlet.
