This file is an excerpt from a new PowerShell book I&#8217;m working on; this chapter covers PowerShell&#8217;s formatting capabilities and walks you through creating various types of custom format views.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;d like to hear from you in your comments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is this readable? Understandable?<\/li>\n<li>Does this cover what you need to know about the topic? Too much? Not enough?<\/li>\n<li>Is this well-organized, or would you present things in a different order (and what would that order be)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is obviously a very rough first draft, and I appreciate your taking the time to review it and provide some feedback. It does assume that you know about PowerShell&#8217;s <strong>Format-*<\/strong> cmdlets, so if you haven&#8217;t used those before, give them a whirl first (this chapter would be considered &#8220;advanced&#8221; material &#8211; so if you&#8217;re a beginner and it&#8217;s over your head, that&#8217;s okay for right now &#8211; you haven&#8217;t seen the rest of the book, yet!)<\/p>\n<p>Thanks!! BTW&#8230; if you know anyone who is interested in, or works with PowerShell, send &#8216;em over to take a look, too!<\/p>\n<p>(BTW, if we get a good response from this &#8220;online draft&#8221; review, we&#8217;ll do it with other chapters in the future&#8230; so keep that in mind! It&#8217;s all about the quantity and quality of the comments we receive!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This file is an excerpt from a new PowerShell book I&#8217;m working on; this chapter covers PowerShell&#8217;s formatting capabilities and walks you through creating various types of custom format views.
