I wasn\u2019t completely satisfied with the updated version<\/a> of my Get-NumberedContent function. You should still refer to the earlier post for details on how to use the function.

<\/p>\n

Many of my PowerShell v2.0 scripts use comment blocks like this:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<#<\/span><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
.Synopsis<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    Pipe PowerShell output to a temp file and open the file in<\/span> Notepad or an editor of your choice.<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
.Description<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    This function<\/span> creates a temporary file from pipelined input and opens in<\/span> in<\/span> a text editor of<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    your choice. The default<\/span> is Notepad.exe but you can use -editor to specify the filename and path<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    for<\/span> any text editor. The temp file will be deleted after closing the text editor. If you want to<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    save the output you'll need to give it a new name.<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
.Parameter InputObject<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    Any pipelined input<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
.Parameter Editor<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    The file name and path, if<\/span> necessary, to any text editor of your choice. You can also use any<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    command aliases that you have defined.<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
.Example<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    PS C:\\> ps | out-notepad<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
    Take the output from Get-Process and send it to Notepad.<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
.Example<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    PS C:\\> get-wmiobject win32_logicaldisk | Select * | out-notepad -editor nplus<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
    Output from the Get-WMIObject expression is sent to the temp file and opened with Notepad++<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    which has been defined with an alias of nplus<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n

As written, my function couldn\u2019t detect this as a comment. So I updated Get-NumberedContent to check PowerShell scripts for a <# and if found flip a flag that basically says, I\u2019m in comment mode.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
highlight comment blocks in<\/span> PowerShell v2 scripts (ps1,psd1,psm1)<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
if<\/span> ( ($_.Trim().startswith(\"<#\"<\/span>) -AND ((Get-Item $filename).Extension -match<\/span> \"ps1|psd1|psm1\"<\/span>)) -OR $blnCommentBlock) {<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    #if the begin comment character is found turn \"on\" comment mode and treat<\/span><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    #every subsequent line as a comment until a matching #> is found<\/span><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    Write-Debug \"Found a v2 comment block\"<\/span><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    Write-Debug \"Setting blnCommentBlock to TRUE\"<\/span><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    Write-Debug \"Setting isComment to TRUE\"<\/span><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    Write-Debug \"Setting fcolor to $CommentColor\"<\/span><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    $blnCommentBlock=$True<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    $isComment=$True<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    $fcolor=$CommentColor<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
  }<\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The function will treat every line as a comment until a #> is found, at which point the comment flag is turned off.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
if<\/span> ($_.Trim().startswith(\"#>\"<\/span>)) {<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    Write-Debug \"Found end of v2 comment block\"<\/span><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    Write-Debug \"setting blnCommentblock to FALSE\"<\/span><\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
    $blnCommentBlock=$False<\/pre>\n
<\/p>\n
}<\/pre>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I also fixed a few bugs and tweaked some things. For example, now the full filename will be displayed as line 00. The function now writes a blank line after each file. This is helpful when running through a collection of files. Finally, I added an online link to the help section to link to this page. When creating links, the online link needs to be separate from any other links you want to display.<\/p>\n
