Been far too long since I blogged about a new PowerShell script.  This is not to say I've stopped using PowerShell, more that I've been too busy playing with other tools to spend a significant amount of time updating my scripts.

This is a simple, yet straight forward script.  The intent is to make the "tf status" command easier to use from PowerShell.  I often want to do some last second verification on files I've altered.  The default output is not easy to one time parse so a script is handy.

function Get-TfStatus() {
    param ( [string]$path= "." ,
            [switch]$recursive = $false )

    $args = ""
    if ( $recursive ) {
        $args = "/r"
    }
    $output = [string[]](& tf status $path $args)

    # First two lines are junk so skip past it
    for ( $i = 2; $i -lt $output.Length; $i++ ) {
        $name,$edit,$path = $output[$i].Split(" ", [StringSplitOptions]"RemoveEmptyEntries")
        if ( $path -and (test-path $path) ) {
            new-tuple "FileName",$name,"Change",$edit,"FilePath",$path
        }
    }
}
