Windows PowerShell 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.
|
|
|
|
**Sample Objectives**
|
|
|
|
This sample demonstrates the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Using PSPaths with cmdlet parameters.
|
|
2. Using script blocks with cmdlet parameters.
|
|
3. Using session state in a cmdlet implementation.
