I wrote one simple script a long time ago that deletes all subdirectories with given names in the specified directory:
Remove-Item * -Force -Recurse -Include name1,name2,name3 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Haven't used it in a while, but now I need it. I launch - I did not delete anything.
"WTF?" I think. Started digging. He fiddled, fiddled, went through everything, and previously created the list, and changed the names - it still does not delete anything. In the end, I read in their dock: "Actually, -Include is buggy when used with -Recurse, so use a hack.":
Because the Recurse parameter in Remove-Item has a known issue, the command in this example uses Get-ChildItem to get the desired files, and then uses the pipeline operator to pass them to Remove-Item.
Well, okay, rewrote using this crutch. One horse-radish - does not delete anything. Moreover, Get-ChildItem с -Include returns empty. Again, what I just didn’t do, as I just didn’t pervert with the parameters, doesn’t work. Most importantly, with -Exclude works, and -Include no way. I spent the whole day on this: I kept thinking that somewhere in the parameters I screwed up, that I didn’t take into account some tricky nuance. And what was the result? Put them PS7.1 - it worked. It even has the first tailless version using only remove-item earned. In general, it turned out to be their bug.
But having suffered with their Mighty Shell, I got into Google to read why their shell has such a furious syntax. Mlyn, they position it as .NET for the console, but they don’t even smell of C # syntax. Instead of him…
So, I came across this article:". As the saying goes: "I couldn't agree more."
I suspect that the Mighty Shell team is a bunch of Bash fans.
- Let's finally make a console for Windows in which it will be possible to write complex scripts. And then our cmd is outdated, so much so that we are already a little ashamed.
- Let's! What will we do based on? We already have VBScript, JScript. Finally, we have languages for .NET: C#, VB. Can we do it in C#? I mean, we'll use C# as the scripting language for our console. Moreover, we want to pull up .NET classes there.
— Nah, what are you, dude, what C#? Real geeks use bash! Here we are, let's make bash for Windows. I don't care that the syntax for bash was written, apparently, by a crowd of stoned hipsters in the distant 1960s. In general, the harder the better! Intuitiveness is for the weak! While writing a script in our language, the user must curse everything in the world and invent a couple of new curse words. Only such a language has the right to life. Look, Linuxoids live like this all their lives and get an inexplicable buzz from it all. And we are worse?
