@Sebastian

Excellent point. My background is the ITPro and sometimes my code is not as elegant as it should be. You're correct and there are ALWAYS different (And often much better) solutions.

Nice job :)

@David

My first time on Cmdlets and Powershell I knew nothing as well. My first venture into Powershell was deleting files by date and time..... Which I learned from this very blog.

We all start somewhere. Enjoy the Power of Shell ! :)

Why are you torturting yourself with those weird date and time manipulations?

Date: Get-Date -format d

Time: Get-Date -format HHmmss or (Get-Date).tostring(“HHmmss”)

Does the job just fine.

Thanks heaps for your dedication to writing advanced functions(cmdlets). I knew nothing about them when I started with POSH but I think its great to have resources to encourage all of us to code more in this style.

I particularly liked your comment: " It feels very much like a real cmdlet, and that is because it is a real cmdlet.". If it behaves like a cmdlet then it ought to be called one. Call it the "Turing" test if you like!

In this blog of yours, I found so many interesting themes and even if I did not yet responded to none, you to know that I read them with great interest. Success.
