AngelopoulosJim overlooked some of the type accelerators in that list, probably since it was getting so repetitious. It looks like the following also all work: <br>[byte[]] <br>[double[]] <br>[single[]] <br>[type[]] <br>[array[]] <br>[decimal[]] <br>Obviously, all of the &quot;fundamental&quot; important types can be arrayed with an accelerator, including both [type] and [array] itself. <br>One is missing, possibly via oversight: [float[]] fails. Since [float] is actually System.Single and since [single[]] works, this is not a major impairment.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=684481" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2006/07/12/type-shortcuts.aspx#665975Fri, 14 Jul 2006 21:53:18 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:665975nlhowellAh; very handy.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=665975" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2006/07/12/type-shortcuts.aspx#664700Thu, 13 Jul 2006 20:35:56 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:664700PowerShell TeamSure thing: <br> <br>[C:\temp] <br>PS:8 &gt; $Process = [System.Diagnostics.Process] <br> <br>[C:\temp] <br>PS:9 &gt; $Process::GetProcessById(1234) <br> <br>Lee<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=664700" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2006/07/12/type-shortcuts.aspx#664682Thu, 13 Jul 2006 20:13:32 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:664682nlhowellCan we make our own type shortcuts?<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=664682" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2006/07/12/type-shortcuts.aspx#664011Thu, 13 Jul 2006 06:12:01 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:664011Jason Haley<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=664011" width="1" height="1">
