Thanks for the video! Really good idea using indexof, going to use that in my scripts a lot more currently I use the length method to sort mine:

$url.substring(0, $url.length -4)

Your way is much better when you have port numbers of different sizes. Again thanks!

I know this is 3 years old, but you've helped me so much with your videos and I've only watched two so far! Thank You!

4years later and you explained things easier and more detailed than my professor! Thank you.

Thanks! The substring function was what I was looking for.

The practical examples accompanied by explanation of what each piece of the script does is a great teaching method. Your videos are super helpful. Thank you for producing them! (Love the "wuz" bit! Very funny!)

Hi Shane. Thanks for these good videos on Powershell. I was very confused with Powershell earlier but now I can easily learn from these videos. You are simply awesome who is sharing such a valuable information absolutely free to help others. Hats off to you bro

[alexandrevalente]

Thanks a lot. I come form the Unix world and used most of the time ksh and bash. Very good tutorial.

Hello Shane!! This helped. I want to take it just a little farther. I need to get a list of the local users Get-LocalUsers. I made it a Var $LclUsr = Get-LocalUser. It gives the Name, Enableed, and Description. I need to parse the Enabled header (which is either True/False). and if one of the Names is False when it should be True output the info and vice versa if True when it should be False. I was told Select-String would be the best route.

Thanks for another very helpful video, Shane. Perhaps you have already covered it in another video, but I have a lot of trouble with concatenating strings in PowerShell. It seems very different from other languages.
If you haven't covered it yet, please do when you have a chance.

Shane, Thanks for the great lesson. That last command solved my problem !

[MrSelecta]

Nice examples. I laughed so hard when you corrected "on-premise". Its almost an IT joke now. About time we got over it dont you think?

[PabloVillaronga]

Great Video share, i learn a lot, the easy way ! Wouldn;t be great if you post the link to the powershell you explained to Github or your site, like a blog ? Would be easy to execute and get out exercises !
