PowerShell Tip

Insert String Every N Characters

http://blog.expressionsoftware.com/2010/03/insert-string-every-n-characters.html

This PowerShell v2 script inserts a string every N characters. The interval is specified using the regex repetition operator, {min,max}.
$a = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
([regex]::matches($a, '.{1,3}') | %{$_.value}) -join ' '
([regex]::matches($a, '.{1,8}') | %{$_.value}) -join '..'
([regex]::matches($a, '.{1}') | %{$_.value}) -join '-'

#output
abc def ghi jkl mno pqr stu vwx yz
abcdefgh..ijklmnop..qrstuvwx..yz
a-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j-k-l-m-n-o-p-q-r-s-t-u-v-w-x-y-z

Removal of $_ and also $PSItem in PS v3

In PowerShell, the variable "$_" has special importance. It works like a placeholder in scenarios like this one:
PS> Get-ChildItem $env:windir | Where-Object { $_.Length -gt 1MB }
In PowerShell v3, there is an alias for the cryptic "$_": $PSItem. So now code can become more descriptive:
PS> Get-ChildItem $env:windir | Where-Object { $PSItem.Length -gt 1MB }
Then again, in PowerShell v3, "$_" isn't necessary in many scenarios anymore at all. You could also write:
Get-ChildItem $env:windir | Where-Object Length -gt 1MB

Statement from Kirk about leaving Quest

PowerGUI Pro and PowerGUI are fantastic products with a great team, and the guys still working on the product deserve all the praise and attention they can get. I still want the recording to be available so that it can help that product grow and prosper, giving back to those guys the support (and hopefully more revenue to help pay for their mortgages) that they so deserve.

For the listeners of this podcast, if you are in need of someone with my skills, either as a Product Manager, a PowerShell MVP, an expert in Windows management (with a strong focus on Active Directory and Exchange although I’ve also gotten deeply involved in virtualization with Hyper-V and VMware as well), a social media/community site manager, or as a freelance writer, my schedule has all of a sudden become much less busy and I’m interested in filling up that time with new work once I come back from vacation, so please get in touch, either through http://poshoholic.com/contact-me/ or through comments on my blog post about my departure from Quest (http://poshoholic.com/2011/07/28/one-for-the-road/).
