So, I'm trying to match: "Email: someemail@somewhere.com" This should be pretty simple.

Whenever I run PowerShell using RunAs in Windows XP, the Control+C key sequence no longer works. An example... If I run "ping.exe -t" which will ping endlessly, the way you get back to the command prompt is by pressing CTRL+C. If I run PowerShell under my user context, this works fine.

Let me add my recommendation for this book. It's very well written and it's interesting to see some of the design tradeoffs that he notes.

I need to search a bunch of makefiles and find the ones that contain a line with '/D' but not 'SSLabel'. I can do with this the following one-liner: 149# gci -r -i makefile |% { $f=$_; switch -regex -file $_ { "(?<!\s +SSLabel.*)/D" { $_ + " : " + $f.FullName; } }} Which works well enough, but it would be even nicer if it would display the line-number of the match from the file?
