Paths III
Resolve-Path is interesting in that
Resolve-Path c:\scripts\*
"c:\scripts\*" | Resolve-Path
both supply a listing of the contents of the folders. A sample is shown
C:\scripts\WMICookBook
C:\scripts\WPF
C:\scripts\XML
C:\scripts\auto.csv
C:\scripts\computers.txt
C:\scripts\emptyfolders.txt
C:\scripts\encrypted.txt
C:\scripts\firewall.ps1
C:\scripts\import-mymodule.ps1
It shows files and subfolders with no way to distinguish. There isn’t a way to recurse through sub folders
A System.Management.Automation.PathInfo object is returned with these properties
Drive
Path
Provider
ProviderPath
default is just to display the path.
I’m not 100% sure what I’ll be using this cmdlet for but compare the output of
PS> ls hklm:\software
Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software
SKC VC Name Property
--- -- ---- --------
5 0 Adobe {}
2 0 Atheros {}
1 0 ATI Technologies {}
1 0 AVG {}
and
PS> Resolve-Path hklm:\software\*
Path
----
HKLM:\software\Adobe
HKLM:\software\Atheros
HKLM:\software\ATI Technologies
HKLM:\software\AVG
and I’m getting a few ideas of where it might be useful
