I think the most of us had already written a little Script for that, but now having a handy module is such a time saver! Thank you Merill

Interesting article, thanks Mike!
Quick question:
What if I also want to assign a hashtable value to a variable?
I don't do it often, but sometimes I need a deep property and like to store it inside, like:
Region = $Region = $_.Foo.bar.barz
ShortRegion = $Region.Substring(0,5)

So you mean based on in which folder of your module the file lies? Hmm interesting. Maybe I could write two more rules for that. So you can run those for specific scenarios! Good call!

“This PowerShell Saturday Karlsruhe -Thing is only about deep nerd stuff…” you better not bet on this statement, as @harmveenstra.bsky.social proves them wrong, with his meta session about blogging, imposter syndrome avoidance and many more useful advices.

Sharing my #PowerShell Starter Pack again.

I realized I must have accidentally dropped @robsewell.com's PowerShell feed, so I added it back. I also added @psconf.eu #PSConfEU feed.
