Use MCMS API to show current database
Hello
Is it possible to use the MCMS API to show the current database that
the CMS Context is pointing at?
I sometimes point MCMS at a different SQL databse using the DCA, and I
would like to be able to programmatically see what database it is
pointed at. Currently I have to fire up the DCA, and go forward in the
wizard to the screen where you select a differnent database. This

Difficult with regex and multiple things on a line
I have a file with a line like the following:

that is, there is at least one underscore in the field name). I do

Potenial issue with the get-variable -scope parameter
Hi, this might have been noted already, but the following doesn't seem to
work as expected:

$z = 777
if ( 1 -eq 1 ) {
$x = 999
get-variable * -scope local
}

When pasted into the shell, you'd expect that $x would be displayed along
with other local scoped variables, but $z is shown along with all the other

initialising an array with dimension
AFAIK PoSH arrays are value based. When I create a multidimensional
array, for example, I specify values at each of the index points:
$a = @( (1,2),(3,4) )
$a[1][1]
4
Is there a way to define dimensions without actual values? so, for
example, something akin to C# style initialisation:
int[,] a = new int[2,2];
a[1,1] = 4;
Cheers,

Importing CSV into MS SQL Express
Hello All,
I'm trying to parse a whole heap of CSV files in MS SQL 2005 express. The
only way that I can think of doing this is to use the OSQL command using
powershell generate and insert command for each line in the CSV file (yes
time consuming).
However, I have a little snag. The CSV files don't have any column names, as
the first line of the CSV starts with values. e.g.
