>From a technet article by Don Jones: When I speak at conferences, such as Tech•Ed or TechMentor, I get into the habit of making proclamations—general-rule announcements that help users remember key points about things like Windows PowerShell. My latest proclamation is, "If you're parsing a string in Windows PowerShell, you're doing something wrong."
This comes from my philosophy regarding Windows PowerShell™ being an object-oriented shell. If you're doing things like dumping lists of services into a text file and then parsing that text file to see which services are started, you're working too hard. That's a valid approach in a text-based OS such as UNIX, but Windows PowerShell (as well as Windows(R) itself) lets you use objects in a much more efficient way. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc743166.aspx?pr=blog -todd -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
