    <p>I got this colored dir script from <a href="http://tasteofpowershell.blogspot.com/2009/02/get-childitem-dir-results-color-coded.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://tasteofpowershell.blogspot.com/2009/02/get-childitem-dir-results-color-coded.html</a>: </p> <pre><code>function ls { $regex_opts = ([System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions]::IgnoreCase -bor [System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions]::Compiled) $fore = $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor $compressed = New-Object System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex('\.(zip|tar|gz|rar)$', $regex_opts) $executable = New-Object System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex('\.(exe|bat|cmd|ps1|psm1|vbs|rb|reg|dll|o|lib)$', $regex_opts) $executable = New-Object System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex('\.(exe|bat|cmd|ps1|psm1|vbs|rb|reg|dll|o|lib)$', $regex_opts) $source = New-Object System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex('\.(py|pl|cs|rb|h|cpp)$', $regex_opts) $text = New-Object System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex('\.(txt|cfg|conf|ini|csv|log|xml)$', $regex_opts) Invoke-Expression ("Get-ChildItem $args") | %{ if ($_.GetType().Name -eq 'DirectoryInfo') { $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = 'DarkCyan' $_ $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = $fore } elseif ($compressed.IsMatch($_.Name)) { $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = 'Yellow' $_ $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = $fore } elseif ($executable.IsMatch($_.Name)) { $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = 'Red' $_ $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = $fore } elseif ($text.IsMatch($_.Name)) { $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = 'Green' $_ $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = $fore } elseif ($source.IsMatch($_.Name)) { $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = 'Cyan' $_ $Host.UI.RawUI.ForegroundColor = $fore } else { $_ } } } </code></pre> <p>It works great, but I most of the time I want only the file names, in wide format. So after the invoke-expression call, I added</p> <pre><code> Invoke-Expression ("Get-ChildItem $args") | %{ if ($_.GetType().Name -eq 'DirectoryInfo') { : : : $_ } } | format-wide -property Name } </code></pre> <p>Now I have a bug. Only the colour of the second column is correct; the first item in each column takes the colour of the item in the second column. For example, if I have</p> <pre><code>&gt; ls Directory Program.exe </code></pre> <p>Then both Directory and Program.exe will be red, even though Directory is supposed to be DarkCyan. How can I correct this?</p>

    1. COThis is a really cool script :D - I tried to run the script using powershell_ise.exe. It colors the output while executing (I put breakpoints) but when it finishes executing the colors don't persist. Do you know why? I'm using PowerShell 2.0 (Windows 7). How would you call this script from within PowerShell? Let's say I save a file named color.ps1 inside my Desktop folder. Then I open PowserShell, navigate to the folder and type .\color.ps1. Nothing happens. What am I missing to make this script run from within PowerShell?

    2. COI'm no expert, but I think it just defines a function called `ls`. After running the script, you actually have to run the function via `ls`. You may have to source color.ps1 with `. .\color.ps1`.

    3. COI call the ls function after loading color.ps1 and the output is still uncolored.

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.
