This will get you count: get-alias | measure You can work with the result as with object: $m = get-alias | measure $m.Count And if you would like to have aliases in some variable also, you can use Tee-Object: $m = get-alias | tee -Variable aliases | measure $m.Count $aliases Some more info on Measure-Object … Read more
Define the variable as an array in one of two ways… Wrap your piped commands in parentheses with an @ at the beginning: $serverIps = @(gwmi Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where { $_.IPAddress } | Select -Expand IPAddress | Where { $_ -like ‘*.*.*.*’ } | Sort) Specify the data type of the variable as an array: … Read more
Here is yet another way without Invoke-Expression but with two variables (command:string and parameters:array). It works fine for me. Assume 7z.exe is in the system path. $cmd = ‘7z.exe’ $prm = ‘a’, ‘-tzip’, ‘c:\temp\with space\test1.zip’, ‘C:\TEMP\with space\changelog’ & $cmd $prm If the command is known (7z.exe) and only parameters are variable then this will do $prm = … Read more

For example, to get the list of the current directory and just have the Name property displayed, one would do the following: ls | select -Property Name This is still returning DirectoryInfo or FileInfo objects. You can always inspect the type coming … Read more
New versions of PowerShell include PSReadline, which can be used to do this: Set-PSReadlineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function Complete or, to make it even more like bash where you can use arrow-keys to navigate available options: Set-PSReadlineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function MenuComplete To make it permanent, put this command into C:\Users\[User]\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1.
Setting an execution policy to RemoteSigned or Unrestricted should work. It must be changed under an administrator mode via a PowerShell console. Be aware that changes will be applied according to the bit version of the PowerShell console, so 32bit or 64 bit. So if you want to install a package in Visual Studio (32 … Read more
I found out here that you can add to your visual studio code settings the following and the problem will vanish: For visual studio code settings, go to File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Extensions -> Scroll down and find “Edit in settings.json”. Do not forget to restart the visual studio code “terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows”: [“-ExecutionPolicy”, “Bypass”] … Read more
