With the phenomenal success of PowerShell Plus and subsequent transfer to Idera, PowerShell Analyzer is now 100% free. You can read more and get it from our recently updated website - http://www.shelltools.net . In coming weeks we are going to do some surveys to help decide where we want to go as a company with PowerShell IDEs.

Sincerely,

Karl

In PowerShell Plus you can see Variables and properties. by enabling it from the menu (Toolbars->Variables+Property) or easily toggle it with CTRL-T

You can see it has rich features where you can search and filter different variables, then when you click on one have it show up in the property grid. However we aren’t going deep into that today. we are covering the “View Current Pipeline” option

When you click this button, it toggles from showing the variables. to the actual results of the pipeline. So whenever you run something.. the actual results are shown as usual on the left as text, but also the actual dotnet objects that are returned by the command show up in the variable pane. and when you click on an item there, you can see all the properties for that particular object.

So in the above example I ran a command that on the first 5 processes in the system, and the current date. In the variable explorer you can see those 5 processes and the date and time. Also the 2nd process has been clicked on, and you can see all its properties in the property grid, including descriptions of the properties. You get to see a lot more data than PowerShell gives you as text.

You can download Powershell Plus from http://www.powershell.com

All my old posts are gone, as far as being web pages, but I have archived them into a PDF here. Maybe I’ll revisit some of the topics in future posts if they are worthy enough.

So what’s new?

• I’ve been a PowerShell MVP for some time now.
• Shell Tools is sponsoring the PowerShell.org project. Actually I have a blog there, and was going to blog there rather than back at www.karlprosser.com/coder but I really wanted to use Live Writer, and the DotNetNuke Blog module is still substandard, so I’m just going to cross post here and there, and also at Shell Tools support site, so its searchable on this blog. I know its OVERKILL . We’ll see how it works out.
• We’ve been busy with PowerShell Analyzer and PowerShell Plus. PowerShell Analyzer 1.0 is finally out, and we have a trial of the PowerShell Plus for use in a commercial environment, and a free license for non-commercial use. Check it all out www.powershell.com
• Combined PowerShell Analyzer and PowerShell Plus downloads are now far in excess of 100,000. Yay
• The PowerShell Debugger in PowerShell Plus is getting better by the day, and the debugger in PowerShell Analyzer should add an interesting twist to the works. More on this in future posts.
• Documentation. We admit documentation for PowerShell Plus and PowerShell Analyzer is very sparse, so one of our priorities as this year wraps up is a number of Video Tutorials, and even some hard copy documentation/ tutorials  - shock , horror.

Plus I have tonnes of generic PowerShell topics inside me, bursting at the seams, just waiting to come out.
