Powershell – Useful snippits of code

I find myself using some pieces of code frequently. As I work, I often look back and copy something so that I can save time. I have long since lost the references online from which I may have learned – but I give full credit to those wonderful folks online who post stuff.. so here are some of my favorites.

 $ARR_ERSAPPLIST = $ARR_ERSAPPLIST | Sort-Object
 $ARR_NPGAPPLIST = $ARR_NPGAPPLIST | Sort-Object
 $ARR_APPLIST = Compare-Object $ARR_ERSAPPLIST -DifferenceObject $ARR_NPGAPPLIST -PassThru
 $ARR_APPLIST2 = Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $ARR_NPGAPPLIST -DifferenceObject $ARR_ERSAPPLIST -PassThru
 $ERSfromNPG = $ARR_ERSAPPLIST |% {if ($ARR_NPGAPPLIST -contains $_) { $_ }}  
 $NPGfromERS = $ARR_NPGAPPLIST |% {if ($ARR_ERSAPPLIST -contains $_) { $_ }}

 $masterlist += $myObject2

     $YesNo = [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("No User Name was entered. The script will exit")
 $a = new-object -comobject wscript.shell
 $intAnswer = $a.popup("Do you want to delete these files?", `
 0,"Delete Files",4)
 If ($intAnswer -eq 6) {
   $a.popup("You answered yes.")
 } else {
   $a.popup("You answered no.")
