Select-String Sample
====================
This sample creates a cmdlet called Select-Str that searches files for specified patterns.
The patterns can be case-sensitive or case-insensitive. The user can also specify a script
block to use for performing the matching operation instead of relying on the cmdlet's own
logic which uses regular expressions for matching.
