Powershell output: I'm beginning to write simple scripts in powershell. One of the things items that really isn't straight forward is the write-output command. At first glance, one would think that this would simply output a string. Well, there is a trick I found.

PS>write-output xxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy

really outputs

xxxxxxxx
yyyyyyyyy

PS>write-output "xxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy"

really outputs

xxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy

PS> $A = 10
PS>$B = 20
PS>write-output "A = $A B = $B"

really outputs

A = 10 B = 20; posted @ Thursday, May 14, 2009 3:30 PM | Feedback (0)
