PowerShell for Beginners
Description
This is part 2 of a series on using PowerShell. In this video, we cover how to work with Objects in PowerShell. We do that by breaking down this script.
Get-PSDrive | ?{$_.Free -gt 1} | %{$Count = 0; Write-Host "";} { $_.Name + ": Used: " + "{0:N2}" -f ($_.Used/1gb) + " Free: " + "{0:N2}" -f ($_.free/1gb) + " Total: " + "{0:N2}" -f (($_.Used/1gb)+($_.Free/1gb)); $Count = $Count + $_.Free;}{Write-Host"";Write-Host "Total Free Space " ("{0:N2}" -f ($Count/1gb)) -backgroundcolor magenta}
So if you have ever wanted to understand what all of that is and how to write your own crazy script this is the video for you.
Here is a link to better understanding the .NET formatting method. {0:N2}

ShanesCows @PhDJ:Thank you. :) Sadly, they changed the requirements for posting on CH9 so no new content. The good news is I have a YouTube PowerShell Playlist with 20 or so PowerShell videos. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCGGtLsUjhm2k22nFHHdupAK0hSNZVfXi Hope it helps. Shane

ItsGreektoMe Awesome presentation. For me, you just simplified script blocks in general. Stringing the structure with semi and sections of brackets.

Preeti10 This was so Awesome!! Thanks a lot Shawn for simplifying the entire script. I wanted more videos on Powershell from you, seems there's no more! Will check out your Youtube channel for sure!
