SAPIEN Announces PrimalScript 2007 Beta

I’ve always been quite a fan of PrimalScript. I found it to be the best IDE for VBScript development and it has been updated previously to support PowerShell.

Admittedly I couldn’t justify the expense of purchasing a copy for my PowerShell scripting alone, as the Tab Completion from MoW, and the built in Shell Intellisense is pretty impressive in itself.

I’m keen to take a look at the Beta to see how PrimalScript is going, and see if it’s time to re-evaulate my postion ;)

There’s a feature list on their website. If you want to take part you need to keep an eye on the Sapien blog to find out when the limited beta group becomes available.

If I get into the Beta group, NDA’s permitting etc, I’ll let you know how it goes ……

Path PowerLine

I am constantly impressed by how quick you can get the job done with PowerShell. As I have mentioned before one-liners, or PowerLines as I prefer ;) are a good example, although not always practical.

So here’s my PowerLine for the day:

if (! ($env:path).contains(“C:\coding”) ) { $env:path+= “;C:\coding” }

This basically checks if the path statement contains “C:\coding”, and if not appends it to the end.

I haven’t looked at a PowerLine for removing it yet, but I suspect one line might be pushing it for that. Anyone fancy the challenge?
