 Variable & Object
 Powershell Operator
 Loop and Flow Control
 Function and Debug
 Powershell in Action
What is Powershell??

 Windows Powershell is a command-line shell


and scripting environment that brings the
power of the .NET Framework to command-
line users and script writers.
 It introduces a number of powerful new
concepts that enables you to extend the
knowledge you have gained and the scripts
you have created within the Windows
Command Prompt and Windows Script Host
environments.
New Feature in Powershell

 Discoverability
 Consistency
 Interactive and Scripting Environments
 Object Orientation
 Easy Transition to Scripting
Powershell fundamental

Variable Name

 You can use virtually any variable name you


choose, names are not case sensitive.
 But, there are illegal characters such as; ! @ #
% & , . and spaces. PowerShell will throw an
error if you use an illegal character.

${My English Name is #merlin@} is OK!
Variable Type

 Powershell variable type is base on .NET


Framework.
 Common variable is as below:
 [adsi], [array], [bool], [byte], [char]

Variable Scope
Debug
 Write-Verbose ; Write-Debug
 請檢查 PowerShell Script 是否有可讀及可執行權限
 請注意 PowerShell 不是完全自由語法就像 if [ “$#” -ne
1 ] 就不能寫成 if [“$#” -ne 1] 也不能寫成 if[ “$#” -ne
1 ] . 假如執行時有錯誤訊息 , 要詳加檢查程式的語法結
構 . 該空格的地方要有空格 .
 要了解 $variable 才是變數的內容 , 你很有可能把
variable 當成變數的內容 .
 你可能拼錯字了 , 這是很常見的
 有些情況下 , 變數中的內容並不是你預期的 , 以致造成
錯誤 . 此時可在程式中可疑的地方適時的加上一些 偵錯
點 , 把這些變數內容顯示出來看看
 使用 Powershell debugger, 如 PowerGUI
 最後 , 邏輯上的錯誤是很難找到的 , 你可能也要注意
