Every once in a while, I need to see which EXE paths.
In [Wayback /Archive ] this particular case , I wanted to see which [Wayback /Archive ] Spring.Tests unit tests instances of [Wayback /Archive ] Spring4D were running.
This case I needed to see which DevEnv were running (because somehow I got my .csproj bindings wrong).
Since [Wayback /Archive ] tasklist Wayback /Archive ] pslist
[Wayback /Archive ] list-running-processes.bat
Learn more about bidirectional Unicode characters
[Wayback /Archive ] get-Full-Exe-Path-of-a-Running-Process.bat
@echo off
:: http://superuser.com/questions/768984/show-exe-path-of-running-processes-on-the-command-line-in-windows
if [%1] == [] goto :help
PowerShell Get-Process %* ^| Format-List Path
goto :eof
:help
echo Syntax:
echo %0 ProcessName
echo Shows the full EXE paths of any running process with the ProcessName name.
echo Example:
echo %0 DevEnv
echo Shows the paths of running Visual Studio processes
PowerShell PowerShell [Wayback /Archive ] Get-Process
First I used [Wayback /Archive ] Get-Member Get-Process
PowerShell Get-Process ^| Get-Member
Then I [Wayback /Archive ] filtered the Path from Get-Process to figure out which Spring.Tests processes were running:
PowerShell Get-Process Spring.Tests ^| Format-List Path
resulting in:
Path : C:\Users\Developer\Versioned\Spring4D\Tests\Bin\DelphiXE\Spring.Tests.exe
The second batch file escapes the pipe (|) by using a carret (^) , so it is passed from the command-line to PowerShell.

Now that DynamicDNS moved itself to a fully payed service, named it DynDns Pro, then renamed it Remote Access and limiting it to 30 hosts for USD 25 a year , I looked for alternatives, and noticed NO-IP.
I like it for a few reasons:
OK, last year, there was this Microsoft Legal Action and Controversy , but I think that is a once time thing (some people even argue that Microsoft wasn’t thinking ), so I created the last script below in PowerShell.
A few open-source scripts to keep your NO-IP account happy (that also work on most other DDNS providers like Duck DNS ):

Boy, I wish I had read these PowerShell articles earlier:
PowerShell One-Liners: Help, Syntax, Display and Files .PowerShell One-Liners: Variables, Parameters, Properties, and Objects .PowerShell One-Liners: Collections, Hashtables, Arrays and Strings .PowerShell One-Liners: Accessing, Handling and Writing Data .
Besides being in depth, the articles also contain a ton of examples all in this form:
Action Command Example
Basic help for x
Get-Help cmd (cmd is a full name)
help Get-ChildItem
Help in separate window
Show-Command cmd; then select the help icon
Show-Command Get-ChildItem

Wow: I feel like having lived under a stone for 8 years, as RosettaCode has been alive since it was founded in 2007 by Mike Mol .
The idea is that you solve a task and learn from that, or learn by seeing how others have solved tasks or draft tasks .
So in a sense it is similar to the Rosetta stone : it has different languages phrasing the same tasks.
There are already a whole bunch of languages on RosettaCode (of which a few are in the categories below), and you can even suggest or add your own languages.
When you want to solve tasks, be sure to look at the list unimplemented tasks by language that leads to automatic reports by language (for instance two of the languages I use most often: C# and Delphi ).
I’m sure there are lots of programming chrestomathy sites , even beyond the ones, and it feels very similar to programming kata sites .

Earlie this month, I wrote a review about Delphi Cookbook .
Well: as of last thursday, you can get that for USD 5 (or EUR 4.80, so better get yourself a USA account: just ensure your address is in the USA).
Heck: until januari 6th, you can get any eBook or Video on Packt for USD 5 .
Note there is even an x-Mas countdown on the way (with each day a free book that is readable/downloadable for 24 hours).
There’s over 2500+ books to choose from, so I’m grabbing this chance to learn a few things on OpenCV, Scala, and PowerShell.

Thanks Ryant for posting this answer , which I’ve paraphrased a bit:
not itself is not a boolean operator in PowerShell.
The reason is that PowerShell borrows a lot from *nix history, and this has been in *nix forever .
So there are 3 ways of negating a boolean, all equivalent: Read the rest of this entry »

When searching for powershell ise indent tab, I came across this very nice post by rpscripter :
If one selects multiple lines, then pressing tab will indent them all. Pressing shift+tab will un-indent them all.
Yes, I know the PowerShell is limited, so the indents are tabs (not spaces) and you cannot change the tab size: Powershell ISE – change indent/tab size + keep tabs .

Many people confuse a shell with a console.
They are distinct: the shell executes commands, and the console hooks up video and keyboard to them.
Some products (like Take Command Console, of which Noah Coad is a huge fan ) combine the two.
Some shells you can use for Windows: Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve a long history in DOS/Windows 9x COMMAND.COM and Windows cmd.exe shell programming.
The switch to PowerShell is steep, but for me it is worth it: it has so much more functionality than cmd.exe, and taps right into the .NET ECO system.
If you look for something intermediate, you might want to consider TCC. Formerly TCC was known as 4NT, which has its roots in 4DOS (I totally loved 4DOS back when cmd wasn’t there yet).
A small overview: Read the rest of this entry »
