Scripting Games 2012 Comments: #1 Line Continuation
As with previous games I’ll publish a series of comments on the games. I won’t deal with any event specific issues until the games events are all closed but there are some things coming through that while not affecting any gradings don’t make the best use of PowerShell.
The first one that’s jumped out is line continuation.
I’ve seen a number of examples like the following two
get-service | `
sort status -Descending
or
get-service `
| sort status -Descending
Both work but the line continuation character is unnecessary
All you need to do is
get-service |
sort status -Descending
The pipeline symbol also works as a line continuation.
A minor point maybe but let PowerShell do the work for you
