I made a big push at some point to start using Powershell instead of the horrible .bat files I had written at some point (and their arcane unreadable commands). But Powershell's syntax, convoluted names and the unreadable code we had to write to do simple things really made me reconsider seriously. I simply use Python for these things (99% time it has all I need).
- ZenoArrow 11y agoI don't really understand this. If you don't like the verbose names of PowerShell commands, you still have the option to set up command aliases. Out of the box, PowerShell includes a number of common Unix terminal commands as aliases: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd347739.aspx https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd347739.aspx
- kelvin0 11y agoWell right there, that's an extra step that I don't need to do when using Python. But I'll have a look at the link, thanks!
- cableshaft 11y agoHa, that explains why the other day I typed 'ls' out of habit in Powershell and it still printed out the folder contents. Now that I know it's not just that one command, it should make some things easier.
