I often find myself needing needing some basic agregates to count/sum some things., I’ve defined these functions and use them often, they work really nicely at the end of a pipeline :
#
# useful agregate
#
function count
{
BEGIN { $x = 0 }
PROCESS { $x += 1 }
END { $x }
}
function product
{
BEGIN { $x = 1 }
PROCESS { $x *= $_ }
END { $x }
}
function sum
{
BEGIN { $x = 0 }
PROCESS { $x += $_ }
END { $x }
}
function average
{
BEGIN { $max = 0; $curr = 0 }
PROCESS { $max += $_; $curr += 1 }
END { $max / $curr }
}
To be able to get time and path with colors in my prompt :
function Get-Time { return $(get-date | foreach { $_.ToLongTimeString() } ) }
function prompt
{
# Write the time
write-host "[" -noNewLine
write-host $(Get-Time) -foreground yellow -noNewLine
write-host "] " -noNewLine
# Write the path
write-host $($(Get-Location).Path.replace($home,"~").replace("\","https://stackoverflow.com/")) -foreground green -noNewLine
write-host $(if ($nestedpromptlevel -ge 1) { '>>' }) -noNewLine
return "> "
}
The following functions are stolen from a blog and modified to fit my taste, but ls with colors is very nice :
# LS.MSH
# Colorized LS function replacement
# /\/\o\/\/ 2006

function LL
{
param ($dir = ".", $all = $false)
$origFg = $host.ui.rawui.foregroundColor
if ( $all ) { $toList = ls -force $dir }
else { $toList = ls $dir }
foreach ($Item in $toList)
{
Switch ($Item.Extension)
{
".Exe" {$host.ui.rawui.foregroundColor = "Yellow"}
".cmd" {$host.ui.rawui.foregroundColor = "Red"}
".msh" {$host.ui.rawui.foregroundColor = "Red"}
".vbs" {$host.ui.rawui.foregroundColor = "Red"}
Default {$host.ui.rawui.foregroundColor = $origFg}
}
if ($item.Mode.StartsWith("d")) {$host.ui.rawui.foregroundColor = "Green"}
$item
}
$host.ui.rawui.foregroundColor = $origFg
}
function lla
{
param ( $dir=".")
ll $dir $true
}
function la { ls -force }
And some shortcuts to avoid really repetitive filtering tasks :
# behave like a grep command
# but work on objects, used
# to be still be allowed to use grep
filter match( $reg )
{
if ($_.tostring() -match $reg)
{ $_ }
}
# behave like a grep -v command
# but work on objects
filter exclude( $reg )
{
if (-not ($_.tostring() -match $reg))
{ $_ }
}
# behave like match but use only -like
filter like( $glob )
{
if ($_.toString() -like $glob)
{ $_ }
}
filter unlike( $glob )
{
if (-not ($_.tostring() -like $glob))
{ $_ }
}
