Vista - possibly pipe max?

11-19-2007

Hi,

I am trying to list out perms recursively for a directory via cacls and I
need to remove some strings. Is there a limit to the number of pipes
allowed? I wouldn't think so. Here is the script:

$dir = read-host -prompt "Enter starting directory for cacls list "
dir -r $dir | ?{$_.mode -match "d"}|%{$_.get_fullname()} |%{cacls $_}|%{
$_ = $_.replace("(OI)","")
$_
}

When I do this interactively,it works:

cacls d:\test | %{$_.replace("(OI)","")}

Nevermind, I just need to put the "|" inside. ,ie

dir -r $dir | ?{$_.mode -match "d"}|%{$_.get_fullname()} |%{cacls $_|%{
$_ = $_.replace("(OI)","")
$_
}
}

Thanks,

A few tips. I would use ?{$_PSIsContainer} to match dirs (and
?{!$_.PSIsContainer} to match files) and rather than use $_.get_fullname()
just use the property $_.FullName.
