Body
In PowerShell, how do you pipe the output of a command to the clipboard but <ul> <li>Still be able to pipe the data to more processes</li> <li>No dependencies on external applications like <code>clip.exe</code></li> <li>for it to work as a filter, so we see output on the command line immediately</li> </ul> ? <h1>EDIT: 14 May 2015</h1> After 3 years, I thought I would share my <code>ClipboardModule</code> (I hope I am allowed to): <pre><code>Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms Function Get-Clipboard { param([switch]$SplitLines) $text = [Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::GetText(); if ($SplitLines) { $xs = $text -split [Environment]::NewLine if ($xs.Length -gt 1 -and -not($xs[-1])) { $xs[0..($xs.Length - 2)] } else { $xs } } else { $text } } function Set-Clipboard { $in = @($input) $out = if ($in.Length -eq 1 -and $in[0] -is [string]) { $in[0] } else { $in | Out-String } if ($out) { [Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::SetText($out); } else { # input is nothing, therefore clear the clipboard [Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::Clear(); } } function GetSet-Clipboard { param([switch]$SplitLines, [Parameter(ValueFromPipeLine=$true)]$ObjectSet) if ($input) { $ObjectSet = $input; } if ($ObjectSet) { $ObjectSet | Set-Clipboard } else { Get-Clipboard -SplitLines:$SplitLines } } Set-Alias cb GetSet-Clipboard Export-ModuleMember -Function *-* -Alias * </code></pre> I usually use the <code>cb</code> alias (for <code>GetSet-Clipboard</code>) because it is two way i.e can get or set the clipboard: <pre><code>cb # gets the contents of the clipboard "john" | cb # sets the clipboard to "john" cb -s # gets the clipboard and splits it into lines </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
