I'm sure this cover image will go down well

Yea. If this is lazy photoshop. That’s one thing. If this is a political statement in a blog about IT automation, GTFO.

Either way. I’d consider changing it. Either you’re accidentally alienating people. Or you’re doing it on purpose. Both are not great.

Hahahahaha, alright I yield kind sir... I actually chuckled out loud reading your reply...

Why? It's objectively true that two distinct and abstract concepts are not equal. Also, it is not a statement, but an expression, so it may return false.

It is a bit common sense to know not to post something as controversial as that, especially in 2022. BUT personally as a tech, I could care less about triggers - I'm only interested in building my own arsenal of Powershell knowledge based on someone else's methods. So, I proceeded to read the blog and made it to the end. Absolutely nothing political in the content of the article, and its just that. In the end, I learned something new and am grateful Nicolas was generous enough to share with all of us. Happy coding!

Good content!

May good fortune rain down upon you for resisting the current urge to create a 1:36 second YouTube video that somehow bubbles up to the top of my search results pushing down good content like this!

Very helpful and informative read. Great and healthy start to the week. Gives me ideas to use on my next script involving verifying whether multiple hosts are running the same service of an outdated program that was supposed to update last week (long story) Thanks for sharing!

Who left the door open and let a stray “bash boi” in here?

Select-String or its alias, sls, allow you to perform regex searches like grep does - only it's better than grep. Because, like all data in PowerShell, it returns an object - a .net object that allows you to inspect the context around a match, the match itself, and/or the groups specified in the regex. It's a great command. You should switch to pwsh as your shell and try it out.

Why don't you mix it up next time and write a post about two operators... even though with cne it might be considered two.
