In our newsgroup, Benny asked the question, \u201cHow to get subdir items with full path name?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

ClaudioG64 responded:<\/span><\/p>\n

PS> get-childitem C:\\ | foreach-object -process { $_.FullName }<\/p>\n

Dreeschkind replied that we had pithier ways of doing it posting:<\/span><\/p>\n

PS> gci C:\\ | % { $_.FullName }<\/p>\n

It was at this point that I realized that many of you don\u2019t have a function that many of us in the team use.  So put your seatbelts on and try this one out:<\/span><\/p>\n

PS> ${function:…} = { process { $_.($args[0]) } }
PS> gci c:\\ | \u2026 FullName<\/p>\n

With Windows PowerShell, you can be Powerful and Pithy!<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy<\/span><\/p>\n
