OK please forgive my ignorance,
but what is this newsgroup supposed to be about ?






I live in a world all of my own,
but that is alright ,
because everyone knows me there.

I so love your reply. Because it’s so true.

I already posted on Powershell blog of a least one situation I see, where
one could shrink dozens of line of codes developed in other languages into a
Powershell one-liner.

I've been doing quite a little bash programming, (like improving some bash
test scripts for Jikes, even unearthing some bugs, etc.). My Professor – an
Oxford PhD and also former Microsoft Research Cambridge guy – had this to say
about one of my bash solutions:
“Congratulations, you win the prize for most use of unusual shell-script
features! Also a very neat, appropriate solution.�

I let this out just to bring out the point that I am quite familiar with
bash. But even though bash is such a great tool, Powershell is so much up
there compared to Bash. Working with objects instead of text manipulation is
the idea of the century!
