Comparing two files and making changes
Hi,
I've been banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out and
nothing seems to work.
I have two files, File A contains a bunch of student information and File B
contains email aliases. File A has about 15,000 lines with each line being a
different student. File B has about 50,000 lines with about 49,000 lines
being aliases. The first 1000 lines or so in File B is miscellan...

it says that ISE depends on .NetFramework 3.5.1.

What do you think:
1) it is a bug
2) it is by design because PowerShell (is | will be) able to start

Graphical Windows PowerShell V2 CTP2
What is the main function of
CompiledComposition.Microsoft.PowerShell.GPowerShell.dll, which is
always located in UserProfile temp folder? Interestingly, without this
library, the program terminates. The file size is about 116KB, and
will be generated by the program if found missing.

Functions: Taking input from the Pipe
I'm working a lot with Exchange 2007 and when I retrieve an object and format
it with FL I get back a list of properties - but also properties that I'm not
interested in(for example GUID, etc).
So I normaly use SELECT to exclude those properties. However, specifying the
properties ever and ever again is a bit boring...
My idea was to write a function to have the same select command ava...

V2 script extensions
I always assumed the "1" in ".ps1" referred to the fact that it was
PowerShell v1. But now I see the CTP versions still using .ps1 for
scripts. I figured that .ps1 would continue to run v1 scripts (backward
compatibility), but a new extension, .ps2, would be used so they would
only run in PowerShell v2. So... why not? What's the "1" for?

Why behaves Join-Path not the pythonic way
I was just surprised to see that
Join-path $pwd $profile
yields
C:\Users\berndk\C:\Users\berndk\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShellISE_profile.ps1
and doesn't recognize that $profile is an absolut path.
I dare say that is an issue.
or tell me a usecase where plain concatination is desired.
Happy scripting
