For those of use running Office 2003 (not 2007), could you post it under a more usable format?

I hope you find this useful! I found printing this out and leaving it on my desk really useful. There's nothing more annoying than forgetting simple things and having to search for them every time.

Enjoy.

You know, I realize that 2007 is now a whole 3 weeks old, but not everyone has jumped to adopt Word 2007. Publishing this document in the .docx format really runs counter to sharing. Why not just encrypt the dumb thing and dangle it in front of me too?

Any formats < Office2007 at all ???

Some of us do not have MS Word 2007 :-(

Could you attach a small HTML/PS/PDF of this file?

Anyway, a PSH Cheat Sheet is nice idea.

Do you also have this in a pre-"Open XML Format Document " format ?

would be nice for the users of "older" Office versions

Good idea, but a few points:

1. Why a docx file? When I downloaded it, Word 2003 crashed, taking XP with it. When I rebooted, Office needed to be reactivated by phone, then it forced me to download a 27mb converter utility, all so I could read some styled text.

2. The "Writing to Console" options are not synonymous. "$a" by itself writes the value of $a to the output pipeline, "write-host" draws it into the console's buffer.

A subtle difference but can be quite important when writing a function. Consider this:

function twice ($a) {

$b=$a*2

"twice $a is $b" # write to console like in the cheatsheet

return $b

}

$c = twice 4

How do I open the document?

For those that want to open this file you will need either Office 2007 or the Compatibility Pack

Sorry but I think it is pretty crazy to post a document in a format used by hardly anyone.

Here is a Word 97-2003 compatible version of the document

Can someone throw up a PDF format of the cheat sheet. I tried running it in my Word 2003 after installing the compatibility pack, it was all gibberish.

Thanks:)

For some reason I think Jeffery didn't meant to trouble us, it was as simple as save doc file and upload it.With so many salty comments I'm sure it won't repeat

re: PowerShell Cheat Sheet

SJB — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 06:14:23 GMT

yeah the docx format was poor form, and just created needless negativity

apart from that, nice cheat sheet and thanks to those who converted it to more common formats

Nice cheat sheet. Just try to avoid using a bleeding-edge data format next time.

Hey Guys

Apologies for the confusion in providing a docx file. Completeley thoughtless on my part, and thanks to Jeff for rectifying this. A lesson now learnt :)

Cheers

Zamo — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 01:29:46 GMT

I have stumbled across an apparent bug in powershell (or shoddy documentation).

I am working on some scripts to copy and append/rename files based on the current date-time after moving to a backup location however when working with the get-date command I was confused over the output.

The help file for get-date, 'get-help get-date -full', indicates that I should be able to display the month in two digit numerical format (06) using 'get-date -uformat %M' I get the minutes and when using the lower case 'm' which should be minutes I get the two-digit month.

I have confirmed this behavior running powershell on Windows XP SP2 x86 and Windows 2003 SP1 x64.

I guess , we should have this in the doc too.

Lets say, we want to access property of object or do assing some value to it.

it is possible to do

someObject | %{ $_.someProperty = someValue}

Just an idea :-)

Could you, maybe, post in a format that businesses actually use? Why don't you just post a Stuff-It compressed archive.

Seriously.
