TOPIC
    PowerShell Community Extensions (version 3.2.1.0)
 
SHORT DESCRIPTION
    Describes the Windows PowerShell Community Extensions (PSCX) module and
    how to use the contained cmdlets and functions.
 
LONG DESCRIPTION
    PowerShell Community Extensions is a PowerShell module that provides a
    number of widely useful cmdlets. PSCX is not affiliated with Microsoft
    or the Windows PowerShell team at Microsoft. We are a few (at the moment)
    passionate PowerShell users who wanted more cmdlets than Microsoft was
    able to deliver in v1 and v2. So we have taken it upon ourselves to
    create some of those cmdlets and make them available to the community.
         
POWERSHELL COMPATIBILITY
    PSCX 3.2 is compiled against .NET 4.0 and consequently works only in
    Windows PowerShell 3.0 and above. If you need Windows PowerShell 2.0
    support, download PSCX 2.1. If you need Windows PowerShell 1.0 support,
    download PSCX 1.2.
     
PREFERENCE VARIABLES
    Previous versions of PSCX used global variables to store preference
    information and variables created by PSCX functions. Those have been
    moved to the PSCX settings provider. PSCX will no longer create any
    variables in your global variable scope. All PSCX preference settings
    are now specified using the Pscx.UserPreferencs.ps1 file. The file is
    located in the root of the PSCX module folder. Its default values
    indicate the defaults used if no preference file is specified during
    import of the PSCX module. If you want to change any of the defaults,
    then copy this file to your home dir, edit it and then import PSCX using
    the -ArgumentList to specify the path to your updated
    Pscx.UserPreferences.ps1 file e.g.:
     
    Import-Module Pscx -arg ~\Pscx.UserPreferences.ps1
     
    The preference variables and default values are:
     
    ShowModuleLoadDetails = $false # Display module load details during
                                   # Import-Module.
     
    CD_GetChildItem = $false # Display the contents of new provider
                                   # location after using cd (Set-LocationEx).
                                   # Mutually exclusive with
                                   # CD_EchoNewLocation.
                                    
    CD_EchoNewLocation = $true # Display new provider location after using
                                   # cd (Set-LocationEx).
                                   # Mutually exclusive with CD_GetChildItem.
     
    TextEditor = 'Notepad.exe' # Default text editor used by the Edit-File
                                   # function.
     
    PromptTheme = 'Modern' # Prompt string and window title updates.
                                   # To enable, first set the ModulesToImport
                                   # setting for Prompt below to $true.
                                   # Then set this value to one of: 'Modern',
                                   # 'WinXP' or 'Jachym'.
     
    PageHelpUsingLess = $true # Pscx replaces PowerShell's More function.
                                   # When this setting is set to $true,
                                   # less.exe is used to page items piped to
                                   # the More function. Less.exe is powerful
                                   # paging app that allows advanced
                                   # navigation and search. Press 'h' to
                                   # access help inside less.exe and 'q' to
                                   # exit less.exe. Set this setting to $false
                                   # to use more.com for paging.
                                    
    SmtpFrom = $null # These settings are used by the PSCX
                                   # Send-SmtpMail cmdlet.
    SmtpHost = $null # Specify a default SMTP server.
    SmtpPort = $null # Specify a default port number. If not
                                   # specified port 25 is used.
                                    
    FileSizeInUnits = $false # Pscx can prepend format data for the
                                   # display of file information. If this
                                   # value is set to $true, file sizes are
                                   # displayed in using KB,MG,GB and TB units.
 
    EditFileBackingFileThreshold = 84000
                                   # Edit-File will switch from an in-memory
                                   # buffer to a temp file when editing a file
                                   # that is larger than this value. This
                                   # setting does not apply when the
                                   # SingleString parameter is used.
                                       
 
CMDLETS
    To see what cmdlets are provided by PSCX, execute the command:
    Get-Command -Module Pscx* -CommandType Cmdlet
    The current PSCX cmdlets are listed below:
 
    Get-ADObject
        Search for objects in the Active Directory/Global Catalog.
         
    Invoke-AdoCommand
        Execute a SQL query against an ADO.NET datasource.
         
    Get-AdoConnection
        Create an ADO connection to any database supported by .NET on the current
        machine. You can enumerate available ADO.NET Data Providers with the
        Get-AdoDataProvider Cmdlet.Data connections to supported providers are
        constructed using provider-agnostic common parameters like Server,
        Username, Password etc.
         
    Get-AdoDataProvider
        List all registered ADO.NET Data Providers on the current machine.
         
    Test-AlternateDataStream
        Tests for the existence of the specified alternate data stream from an
        NTFS file.
         
    Invoke-Apartment
         
    Expand-Archive
        Expands a compressed archive file, or ArchiveEntry object, to its
        constituent file(s).
         
    Read-Archive
        Enumerates compressed archives such as 7z or rar, emitting ArchiveEntry
        objects representing records in the archive.Read-Archive is used to list
        the contents of a compressed archive containing one or more compressed
        file(s). The format of the file being read can be overriden with the
        Format parameter, for example to enumerate the contents of a
        self-extracting archive (EXE).Read-Archive is useful if you wish to
        perform filtering using standard pipeline Where-Object and/or
        ForEach-Object cmdlets before piping ArchiveEntry objects to
        Expand-Archive.
         
    Test-Assembly
        Tests whether or not the specified file is a .NET assembly.
         
    ConvertFrom-Base64
        Converts base64 encoded string to byte array.
         
    ConvertTo-Base64
        Converts byte array or specified file contents to base64 string. By
        default, this cmdlet inserts line breaks every 76 characters and outputs
        the result in a single string. For very large files, you may run into
        OutOfMemoryExceptions. In this case, use the -Stream parameter which will
        generate multiple string outputs that, combined together, result in the
        equivalent base 64 text.
         
    Export-Bitmap
        Exports a bitmap object to a specified file format.
         
    Import-Bitmap
        Loads bitmap files.
         
    Set-BitmapSize
        Sets the size of the specified bitmap.
         
    Format-Byte
        Turns numbers into nicely formatted byte count, using the highest
        possible unit.
         
    Write-BZip2
        Create BZIP2 format archive files from pipline or parameter input.
         
    Get-Clipboard
        Gets data from the clipboard.
         
    Out-Clipboard
        Formats text via Out-String before placing in clipboard. Can also place
        string in clipboard as a file.
         
    Set-Clipboard
        Puts the specified object into the system clipboard.
         
    Write-Clipboard
        Writes objects to the clipboard using their string representation,
        bypassing the default PowerShell formatting.
         
    Get-DhcpServer
        Gets a list of authorized DHCP servers.
         
    Get-DomainController
        Gets all domain controllers at the specified scope.
         
    Get-DriveInfo
        Gets disk usage information on the system's disk drives.
         
    Get-EnvironmentBlock
        Lists the environment blocks stored on the environment block stack.
         
    Pop-EnvironmentBlock
        Pops the environment block and restores the state of all environment
        variables to the values stored in the environment block.
         
    Push-EnvironmentBlock
        Stores the state of all environment variables into an environment block
        and pushes that onto the environment block stack.
         
    Edit-File
        The Edit-File cmdlet modifies the specified files using a search pattern
        and replacement text. The search pattern is specified by the Pattern
        parameter and can be either "simple match" text or a regular expression.
        The replacement text is specified by the Replacement parameter. The
        Edit-File cmdlet can also be used to edit files interactively. By
        default, notepad.exe is used to interactively edit the specified file.
        You can specify an alternate interactive text editor using
        $Pscx:Preferences['TextEditor] = 'notepad2.exe'. By default the regex is
        applied to the file line by line. You can use the SingleString parameter
        to load the entire file into memory as a single string. With
        SingleString, the regex is applied to the entire file at once. This
        enables you to specify a regular expression such as
        '(?s)(<PostBuildEvent>).*?(</PostBuildEvent>)' that spans multiple lines.
        The regular expression mode modifier '(?s)' enables Singleline mode which
        causes the '.' metacharacter to match every character including newline
        characters. One consequence of processing the file using the SingleString
        parameter is that your regex may have to handle carriage return (\r)
        characters. The regex metacharacter $ matches only newline (\n) and NOT
        carriage return (\r) characters. You need to be aware of this when using
        the metacharacter $ in Multiline mode to replace the entire contents of a
        line. If you're not careful you can eliminate \r from the newline
        sequence. To avoid this, use an end of line regex positve look-ahead
        pattern like '(?=\r$)'.
         
    Get-FileTail
        This implentation efficiently tails the cotents of a file by reading
        lines from the end rather then processing the entire file. This behavior
        is crucial for efficiently tailing large log files and large log files
        over a network. You can also specify the Wait parameter to have the
        cmdlet wait and display new content as it is written to the file. Use
        Ctrl+C to break out of the wait loop. Note that if an encoding is not
        specified, the cmdlet will attempt to auto-detect the encoding by reading
        the first character from the file. If no character haven't been written
        to the file yet, the cmdlet will default to using Unicode encoding. You
        can override this behavior by explicitly specifying the encoding via the
        Encoding parameter.
         
    Set-FileTime
        Sets a file or folder's created and last accessed/write times.
         
    Get-FileVersionInfo
        Attempts to get the FileVersionInfo object for the specified path.
        Usually only executable files include file version information.
         
    Get-ForegroundWindow
        Returns the hWnd or handle of the window in the foreground on the current
        desktop. See also Set-ForegroundWindow.
         
    Set-ForegroundWindow
        Given an hWnd or window handle, brings that window to the foreground.
        Useful for restoring a window to uppermost after an application which
        seizes the foreground is invoked. See also Get-ForegroundWindow
         
    Write-GZip
        Create GNU ZIP (GZIP) format files from pipeline or parameter input.
         
    New-Hardlink
        Creates filesystem hard links. The hardlink and the target must reside on
        the same NTFS volume.
         
    Get-Hash
        Gets the hash value for the specified file or byte array via the
        pipeline. The default hash algorithm is MD5, although you can specify
        other algorithms using the -Algorithm parameter (MD5, SHA1, SHA256,
        SHA384, SHA512 and RIPEMD160). This cmdlet emits a HashInfo object that
        has properties for Path, Algorithm, HashString and Hash.
         
    Format-Hex
        The Format-Hex command displays the contents of the specified files in
        hex format. This cmdlet will also accept pipeline input in the form of a
        byte stream. The output can be controlled via various parameters to
        indicate the number of columns that should be displayed or alternatively
        you can specify the width of the output. The header, address and ASCII
        portions of the display can also be turned off individually. The offset
        and count can also be specified via parameters to control where in the
        input to start displaying and how much to display.
         
    Ping-Host
        Sends ICMP echo requests to network hosts.
         
    Resolve-Host
        Resolves host names to IP addresses.
         
    Get-HttpResource
        Gets an HTTP resource or optionally the headers associated with the
        resource.
         
    New-Junction
        Creates NTFS directory junctions.
         
    Get-LoremIpsum
         
    ConvertTo-MacOs9LineEnding
        Converts the line endings in the specified file to Mac OS9 and earlier
        style line endings "\r". You can convert a single file to a new file
        name. Or you can convert multiple files and specify a destination
        directory. By default, this cmdlet will overwrite existing files unless
        you specify -NoClobber. If you want to force the overwrite of read only
        files use the -Force option.
         
    ConvertTo-Metric
         
    Get-MountPoint
        Returns all mount points defined for a specific root path.

    Add-PathVariable
        Adds the specified paths to the end of the named, path-oriented
        environment variable by taking the paths specified by the Value parameter
        and concatenating them into a semi-colon separated string. The paths can
        be prepended to the environment variable by using the -Prepend switch
        parameter.
         
    Get-PathVariable
        Gets the specified path-oriented environment variable and outputs an
        array of strings. One string for each path. The environment variable
        string is split a semi-colon and you can option specify that empty paths
        be removed and unnecessary quotes be removed from each path.
         
    Set-PathVariable
        Sets the specified path-oriented environment variable by taking the paths
        specified by the Value parameter and concatenating them into a semi-colon
        separated string.
         
    Get-PEHeader
        The PE header for Windows executables includes various useful bits of
        information including the image base address, subsystem, linker version,
        etc.

        PowerShell script tokenizer.
         
    New-Shortcut
        Creates shell shortcuts.
         
    Get-ShortPath
        Gets the short, 8.3 name for the given path. This cmdlet emits a
        ShortPathInfo object that contains a ShortPath property as well as a Path
        property which contains the original long path.
         
    Send-SmtpMail
        Sends email via specified SMTP server to specified recipients. This
        cmdlet checks for existence of several preference that if set can make
        this cmdlet much easier to use. Those preference variables are: *
        $PscxSmtpHostPreference="smtp.example.net" * $PscxSmtpPortPreference=587
        * $PscxSmtpFromPreference="john_doe@example.net"
         
    Join-String
        Joins an array of strings into a single string.
         
    Split-String
        Splits a single string into an array of strings.
         
    New-Symlink
        Creates filesystem symbolic links. Requires Microsoft Windows Vista or

        Gets information on terminal services sessions.
         
    Stop-TerminalSession
        Logs off a specific remote desktop session on a system running Terminal
        Services/Remote Desktop
         
    Get-TypeName
        Get-TypeName displays the typename of the input object. Normally you
        would use Get-Member to determine this but if you are only interested in
        the type name this filter produces much less output. Also, since
        Get-Member accumulates multiple instances of the same type into a single
        output record for that type, you don't get any sense of how many objects
        of that type are traversing the pipeline. With Get-TypeName, you will see
        the type name of *every* object passed into it. NOTE: If you specify any
        arguments then all pipeline input is ignored. This is due to the fact
        that PowerShell executes the Process function even if there isn't any
        input so it is impossible to distinguish between $null pipeline input and
        no pipeline input. NOTE: the type name is displayed directly to the host
        so that it doesn't interfere with pipeline operations. If you want the
        original object to pass thru, use the PassThru parameter.
         
    ConvertTo-UnixLineEnding
        Converts the line endings in the specified file to Unix line endings
        "\n". You can convert a single file to a new file name. Or you can
        convert multiple files and specify a destination directory. By default,
        this cmdlet will overwrite existing files unless you specify -NoClobber.
        If you want to force the overwrite of read only files use the -Force
        option.
         
    Get-Uptime
        Gets the operating system's uptime and last bootup time.
         
    Test-UserGroupMembership
        Tests whether or not a user (current user by default) is a member of the
        specified group name. This can be used to test whether a user is admin or
        elevated to admin.
         
    Set-VolumeLabel
        Modifies the label shown in Windows Explorer for a particular disk
        volume.
         
    ConvertTo-WindowsLineEnding
        Converts the line endings in the specified file to Windows line endings
        "\r\n". You can convert a single file to a new file name. Or you can
        convert multiple files and specify a destination directory. By default,
        this cmdlet will overwrite existing files unless you specify -NoClobber.
        If you want to force the overwrite of read only files use the -Force
        option.
         
    Convert-Xml
        Performs XSLT transforms on the specified XML file or XmlDocument. Use
        the EnableScript parameter to enable script embedded in the XSLT file.
         
    Format-Xml
        Pretty print for XML files and XmlDocument objects.
         
    Test-Xml
        Tests for well formedness and optionally validates against XML Schema. It
        doesn't handle specifying the targetNamespace. To see validation error
        messages, specify the -Verbose flag.

UTILITY APPLICATIONS
    Less-394
        Less-394 is a paging utility that PSCX installs. PSCX further provides
        a replacement "help" function that can uses the installed less.exe to
        page help output. If you use either the "man" alias (an alias to help)
        or the help function, the output will be paged using the PSCX "less"
        function which uses less.exe. By default, PSCX's "less" function will
        use Less.exe to page its input. If you want to temporarily avoid
        using Less for paging when viewing help topics, you can use Get-Help
        directly e.g.:
         
        PS> Get-Help Get-PSDrive -Full
         
        The primary commands you need to know in order to use less.exe are:
        Press 'q' to exit less.exe. Press '/<some_term>[enter] to search the
        help topic for a specific term. Press 'h' to get more help on how to
        use less.exe.
         
        If you want to permanently suppress the usage of Less and revert back
        to PowerShell's default pager (more.com) set the 'PageHelpUsingLess'
        preference variable to $false in your Pscx.UserPreferences.ps1 file.
        See the PREFERENCES VARIABLES section above for more information on
        customing PSCX.
                
        Using Less to browse help topics is significantly nicer than the
        default paging in PowerShell. PSCX does not however redefine
        PowerShell's "more" function to use Less because the way PowerShell
        interops with legacy applications causes all output to be rendered to
        text before it is sent to a legacy application. That makes commands
        like the following take too much time to generate any output:
         
        PS> gci $env:windir -rec | less
         
    EchoArgs
        This is a simple legacy console application that can be very useful
        when you are troubleshooting the invocation of a legacy application
        with complex parameters. The typical problem is that you may think
        the parameters are being passed literally to the legacy application
        when in fact PowerShell is parsing the parameters via its standard
        parameter parsing and then passing the result to the legacy
        application e.g.:
         
        PS> echoargs a /b -c -d:user /e:foo.cs;405
        Arg 0 is <a>
        Arg 1 is </b>
        Arg 2 is <-c>
        Arg 3 is <-d:user>
        Arg 4 is </e:foo.cs>
 
        Command line:
        "C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerShell Community Extensions\Pscx3\Pscx\
        Apps\EchoArgs.exe" a /b -c -d:user /e:foo.cs
 
        405
 
        Notice that ';' is the statement separator in PowerShell so the '405'
        part of the parameter '/e:foo.cs;405' is not even considered a
        parameter to the legacy application. These sort of problems are
        typically solved by quoting the arguments to legacy applications e.g.:
         
        5> echoargs a /b -c -d:user '/e:foo.cs;405'
        Arg 0 is <a>
        Arg 1 is </b>
        Arg 2 is <-c>
        Arg 3 is <-d:user>
        Arg 4 is </e:foo.cs;405>
 
        Command line:
        "C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerShell Community Extensions\Pscx3\Pscx\
        Apps\EchoArgs.exe" a /b -c -d:user /e:foo.cs;405

SEE ALSO
    For more information, most of the cmdlets have help associated with
    them e.g.:
     
    PS> help Get-Clipboard
     
    The definitive information on a cmdlet's parameters can be obtained
    by executing:
     
    PS> Get-Command Get-Clipboard -syntax
     
    or more tersely:
     
    PS> gcm get-clipboard -syn
