I make a point of trying to use powershell for scripting stuff (instead of .bat files) and I kindof enjoy it, sometimes you get it to do something really smart.

I make a point of trying to use powershell for scripting stuff (instead of .bat files) and I kindof enjoy it, sometimes you get it to do something really smart. But I can never get my head around the concatenation rules, and how they work when you're passing stuff to legacy Cmd shell commands. Something to do with the & symbol, and maybe speechmarks? But the " and ' work very differently? The problems come when you want to pass multiple arguments to a Cmd command ... The end result is I can't really ever get much done without a lot of googling. But thats par for the course these days I guess.
