Cool!

Currently I don't have a real usecase for that - but I will certainly try it out.

I saw you are using windbg version 6.8.0 - which is not available for download now. When will this come?

Thanks,

Volker

Hi Volker,

Thanks!

I don't know when the private version will be available because it's new for us, too.

By the way, I'm going to change the functions name to follow the PowerShell guidelines. (Thanks to Lee Holmes for the reminder :) )

Roberto

Excellent JOB!!!

Hi Flavio,

Good to see you here, my friend! :)

My first design goal was to do something simple and useful, so I'm happy with your comment.

Hi Roberto,

This is really cool! My only request is this: please convert these to cmdlets in a snapin. You've already written a ton of inline documentation, so putting together the snapin help information from that should be a snap (no pun intended)! Having this information available in the integrated PowerShell help system would be very helpful!

Kirk out.

Hi Kirk,

Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds really interesting!

I'm going to study more about cmdlets in a snapin and I might convert it soon.

You gave me one more reason to improve my PS skills. :)

Now, just to embed PowerShell commands into the WinDBG GUI as a module or something. ;)

Ah the holy grail. Working with stacks, registers, and heaps as objects.

I can see the Future...

Hi,

nice work. I was looking for something like this.

I've been experimenting with your tool and have a question:

Is it possible to set up a breakpoint which prints some variables and send the output to the PowerDbg log? It would be great feature!:)

I've tried command:

Send-PowerDbgCommand "bp myModule!MyFunction+0x19 "?? variableToPrint;gc" "

but PowerDbg sends to WinDbg only bp myModule!MyFunction+0x19 and then PowerShell says that gc is not recognized as a cmdlet...

I've tried few other variants with quotation marks but without success.

Is it possible to have (nested) quotation marks in command?

Regards

chojny

Thanks chojny!

Try to follow this example and it should work:

Send-PowerDbgCommand "bp kernel32!WaitForMultipleObjects `"dv /i /t /V`""

By the way, are you using PowerDbg v5.0? 5.1 is coming next week. :)
