Vista - changing file ownership, "powershell way", anyone?

Hello everybody,

I've googled this group and elsewhere without finding answer to my question.

What is the "powershell way" to change file ownership?

Even in this newsgroups I've found only answers to this question using
"subinacl".

Could somebody give information to do this inside powershell?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks, I had already noticed those pages but I have been unable reproduce the
examples:

PS M:\var\tmp> (gi test.txt).get_owner()
Method invocation failed because [System.IO.FileInfo] doesn't contain a method
named 'get_owner'.
At line:1 char:24
+ (gi test.txt).get_owner( <<<< )

It seems that my powershell implementation doesn't know about "get_owner" (and
"set_owner" too) methods



Anyway, the following script seems to work partially (only when the owner is
myself or a group I belongs to)
==================================================================
function f_chown {
param(
[System.object]$the_file,
[system.security.principal.ntaccount]$the_owner
)
$acl = ($the_file | get-Acl )
$acl.setowner($the_owner)
$the_file | set-Acl -aclobject $acl
}


$accountname=$args[0]
$filename =$args[1]
$account= new-object system.security.principal.ntaccount($accountname)
$fileobj = (get-Item $filename)


f_chown $fileobj $accountname
==================================================================

the get_owner() Methods are custom methods I did make (in the post about
typedata), to make it more easy to reach

in the update typedate post I explain how I did add them
