creating variable
$a=1
$b=2
$c=$a+$b
to see the type of the variable
$a | Get-Member
gm is the alias of Get-Member
so we can do
$a | gm
as gci is the alias of get-child-items
we can do
$items=gci
$items|gm
to get the processes
$processes=get-process
$process | gm
by default the variables are loosely typed,for some reason if we want strict type variables
we need to cast it like this
[int]$dozen=12
if we get the type
$dozen|gm
it will be shown as a integer
Now I can not assign a string inside it for obvious reasons
$dozen="kshinfo"
so the above line will not execute
to see all the variables
get-variable
in the output we will see the profile.sh file
now from terminal to edit the profile file
code $PROFILE
will open the profile in vscode if it is installed
Now to get a custom message like a greeting
showing the time and the day
we need to write
#Create a greeting that says good morning or good afternoon based on time of the
day
$date=Get-Date
$hour=$date.Hour
$dayofweek=$date.DayOfWeek
if ($hour -lt 12)
{
$greeting="Good Morning,"
}
else
{
$greeting="Good Evening,"
}
Write-Host "$greeting I hope you are having a great $dayofweek"
save the file and close it and restart the powershell session
you will see the custom prompt
$a=1
$b=2
$c=$a+$b
