Help with figuring out commands for test!

These are study guide questions, I would appreciate any help!!
What does the following PowerShell command do?
PS C:> ls | Where-Object { $.PSIsContainer } | ForEach-Object { (ls $ | ? { -not $_.PSIsContainer } | sort LastWriteTime)[0] }
Select one:
Finds all the files that are one subdirectory deep
Searches one subdirectory level deep and finds the least recently modified file in each subdirectory
Recursively searches for the file named "0"
Searches each subdirectory and finds the most recently modified file
Recursively searches for the newest file on the system
What does the following PowerShell command do?
PS C:> Select-String "[0-9]{10}" audit.log
Select one: Searches for the literal string "[0-9]{10}" and returns each line containing the string
Looks for and returns the first instance of the literal string "[0-9]{10}" in the file audit.log
Looks for and returns each line containing 10 consecutive digits in the file audit.log
Looks for and returns the first number that is exactly 10 digits found in the file audit.log
Looks for and returns a 0-9 followed by a 1 or 0 in the file audit.log
What does the following PowerShell command do?
PS C:> ls -r -fo | ? { $_.LastAccessTime -gt (Get-Date).AddDays(-1) } | select LastAccessTime, Name
Select one: Finds all files, excluding hidden files, accessed in the last day and outputs the last access time and filename
Finds all files, excluding hidden files, accessed in the last day and outputs the last access time and the user
Finds all files, including hidden files, accessed in the last day and outputs the last access time and filename
Finds all files, including hidden files, accessed in the last day and outputs the last access time and the user
Finds all files, including hidden files, accessed more than one day ago and outputs the last access time and filename
What does the following PowerShell command do?
PS C:> Get-Process cmd | ? { $_.StartTime -lt (Get-Date).AddHours(-1) } | Stop-Process
Select one: Kills any cmd.exe process that has been running for longer than an hour
Starts cmd.exe and stops it after one hour
Kills any cmd.exe processes that started exactly one hour ago
Kills any cmd.exe process that has started in the past hour
Starts cmd.exe after pausing for one hour
What does the following PowerShell command do?
PS C:> ls \users\ephil\Documents | % { move $.FullName -dest $.FullName.ToLower() }
Select one: Moves each file in \Users\ephil\Documents to a lower directory
Moves each file in \Users\ephil\Documents to the directory named FullNameToLower
Moves files with all lowercase characters to \Users\ephil\Documents
Finds all files containing the words user, ephil or documents and renames them to lower case
Renames each file in \Users\ephil\Documents to lower case

It really doesn't help you learn if we're giving you the answers to questions. That said, there are a number of places where the code you've posted has syntax errors. Any place you see "$" with nothing after it in that code (ie, "$.StartTime" or "ls $ |",
assume they meant to type "$_" ("$_.StartTime", "ls $_ |").
There are also a lot of aliases and partial parameter names in the code.  This may be deliberate, to get you to play around with the commands and figure out what the cryptic notation really means, but I don't think it's very helpful.  We encourage
people to use full command and parameter names in scripts to enhance code clarity; the same standard should be applied to your test questions.  Aliases are an optional convenience if you want to save some typing, once you're comfortable with them.
So, here are the aliases used in your questions, along with their actual command / parameter name:
% : ForEach-Object
? : Where-Object
ls : Get-ChildItem
sort: Sort-Object
select: Select-Object
move: Move-Item
-r:  (as a parameter to ls / Get-ChildItem) -Recurse
-fo: (as a parameter to ls / GetChildItem) -Force
-dest: (as a parameter to move / Move-Item) -Destination
Yes the $_. turned out as $. for some reason.
Could you help me with any of these questions? They will really prepare me well for the test. If you could provide answers for any of them I could then work backwards and figure out how to arrive at the answer.

  • Need some help with figuring out numbers

    I downloaded the newest version of numbers on my computer and created a new document.  However, now it will not let me get in that document because it says I do not have the latest version of numbers.  I checked and I do have the latest update for the software.  Any suggestions??

    Hi Jim,
    I am trying to guess how you figured it out. For the benefit of other users, please tell. Perhaps this will help:
    Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for this problem in the new releases of iWork.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
    The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
    Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers suits and use File > Open.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Help with figuring out what to use with this program

    I have the code all written. I was given instruction.(number should contain the number of digits as there are eligible characters in word or 7, whichever is less. If number ends up containing more than 3 digits then a hyphen ( - ) should be placed between the third and fourth digits.)
    I cant figure out if i use a if and else statement or some other and also how to get the program to print out just the normal 7 digits in a number and forget about the rest if entered.

  • Help with "greyed out" option for Publishing a group of Parameters in Motion 5!

    How do you group published parameters in Motion 5, so that you don't have one giant list of published options for Final Cut Pro X?
    My main goal is To publish a compound parameter (a parameter with nested subparameters)
    Looking through Motion Help, it should be as easy as clicking the little disclosure triangle on the right of the inspector, but the word "Publish" is greyed out...

    I know I've looked at rigging, but based off the Motion Help Online Manual, It should be as simple as clicking on the option for publish and have nested subparameters...
    Rigging is excellent, but more steps would be needed to do the same thing i believe...

  • Need help with figuring out what I have?

    My father recently passed away and I found a large sealed envelope from CISCO in some of his belongings.
    I open it up and there is a welcome letter and two disks that are sealed.
    Says:
    Congratulations on purchasing Cisco IOS WebVPN. This Cisco IOS software feature set provides integrated SSL VPN functionality for Cisco IOS routers.
    It is for a 25 concurrent users
    Two different disk are in the package
    1. Cisco End User License and Warranty Cisco Information Packet
    2. Cisco Router and Security Device Manager
    So can anyone tell me what exactly this is?
    Is it still good to use or sell?
    Any helpful insight would greatly be appreciated!
    Thank you in advance,
    Tammy

    It's a feature license that has to run on a Cisco router. Most companies don't use a router for their VPNs but instead use a Cisco ASA firewall.
    That said, the list price on that particular product is $750 but is is normally discounted 30-50% so has a fair market value of less than $500 and is of little to no use without a router to put it on. It may not even be legally transferable from the original purchaser (who likely bought it with a router they had in their company).

    Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music?  I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music.  My other computers are no longer working.  Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?

    Hi kimcinma!
    Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

  • When i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    when i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
    Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
    Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
    Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

    To listen to music with a headset or earbuds via bluetooth requires a bluetooth stereo headset.
    File transfer via bluetooth is not supported. A friend or relative can purchase music for you via the iTunes music store with an iTunes store gift card or by sending you the music gift via email from iTunes.

    I really need someone to help me. I have been trying to figure out how to select a PDF document to convert to a Word doc.

We have it set on auto renewal so I know its not that we haven't renewed this subscription, because we pay automatically.

    Hi olivias,
    It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

  • Neen help with date range searches for Table Sources

    Hi all,
    I need help, please. I am trying to satisfy a Level 1 client requirement for the ability to search for records in crawled table sources by a date and/or date range. I have performed the following steps, and did not get accurate results from Advanced searching for date. Please help me understand what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is a way to define a date search attribute without creating a LOV for a date column. (My tables have 500,00 rows.)
    I am using SES 10.1.8.3 on Windows 32.
    My Oracle 10g Spatial Table is called REPORTS and this table has the following columns:
    TRACKNUM Varchar2
    TITLE Varchar2
    SUMMARY CLOB
    SYMBOLCODE Varchar2
    Timestamp Date
    OBSDATE Date
    GEOM SDO_GEOMETRY
    I set up the REPORTS table source in SES, using TRACKNUM as the Primary Key (unique and not null), and SUMMARY as the CONTENT Column. In the Table Column Mappings I defined TITLE as String and TITLE.
    Under Global Settings > Search Attributes I defined a new Search Attribute (type Date) called DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY).
    Went back to REPORTS source previously defined and added a new Table Column Mapping - mapping OBSDATE to the newly defined DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) search attribute.
    I then modified the Schedule for the REPORTS source Crawler Policy to “Process All Documents”.
    Schedule crawls and indexes entire REPORTS table.
    In SES Advanced Search page, I enter my search keyword, select Specific Source Group as REPORTS, select All Match, and used the pick list to select the DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) Attribute Name, operator of Greater than equal, and entered the Value 01-JAN-07. Then the second attribute name of DATE_OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY), less than equals, 10-JAN-07.
    Search results gave me 38,000 documents, and the first 25 I looked at had dates NOT within the 01-JAN-07 / 10-JAN-07 range. (e.g. OBSDATE= 24-MAR-07, 22-SEP-), 02-FEB-08, etc.)
    And, none of the results I opened had ANY dates within the SUMMARY CLOB…in case that’s what was being found in the search.
    Can someone help me figure out how to allow my client to search for specific dated records in a db table using a single column for the date? This is a major requirement and they are anxiously awaiting my solution.
    Thanks, in advance….

    raford,
    Thanks very much for your reply. However, from what I've read in the SES Admin Document is that (I think) the date format DD/MM/YYYY pertains only to searches on "file system" sources (e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc.). We have 3 file system sources among our 25 total sources. The remaining 22 sources are all TABLE or DATABASE sources. The DBA here has done a great job getting the data standardized using the typical/default Oracle DATE type format in our TABLE sources (DD-MON-YY). Our tables have anywhere from 1500 rows to 2 million rows.
    I tested your theory that the dates we are entering are being changed to Strings behind the scenes and on the Advanced Page, searched for results using OBSDATE equals 01/02/2007 in an attempt to find data that I know for certain to be in the mapped OBSDATE table column as 01-FEB-07. My result set contained data that had an OBSDATE of 03-MAR-07 and none containing 01-FEB-07.
    Here is the big issue...in order for my client to fulfill his primary mission, one of the top 5 requirements is that he/she be able to find specific table rows that are contain a specific date or range of dates.
    thanks very much!

  • Need help with date range searches for Table Sources in SES

    Hi all,
    I need help, please. I am trying to satisfy a Level 1 client requirement for the ability to search for records in crawled table sources by a date and/or date range. I have performed the following steps, and did not get accurate results from Advanced searching for date. Please help me understand what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is a way to define a date search attribute without creating a LOV for a date column. (My tables have 500,00 rows.)
    I am using SES 10.1.8.3 on Windows 32.
    My Oracle 10g Spatial Table is called REPORTS and this table has the following columns:
    TRACKNUM Varchar2
    TITLE Varchar2
    SUMMARY CLOB
    SYMBOLCODE Varchar2
    Timestamp Date
    OBSDATE Date
    GEOM SDO_GEOMETRY
    I set up the REPORTS table source in SES, using TRACKNUM as the Primary Key (unique and not null), and SUMMARY as the CONTENT Column. In the Table Column Mappings I defined TITLE as String and TITLE.
    Under Global Settings > Search Attributes I defined a new Search Attribute (type Date) called DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY).
    Went back to REPORTS source previously defined and added a new Table Column Mapping - mapping OBSDATE to the newly defined DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) search attribute.
    I then modified the Schedule for the REPORTS source Crawler Policy to “Process All Documents”.
    Schedule crawls and indexes entire REPORTS table.
    In SES Advanced Search page, I enter my search keyword, select Specific Source Group as REPORTS, select All Match, and used the pick list to select the DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) Attribute Name, operator of Greater than equal, and entered the Value 01-JAN-07. Then the second attribute name of DATE_OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY), less than equals, 10-JAN-07.
    Search results gave me 38,000 documents, and the first 25 I looked at had dates NOT within the 01-JAN-07 / 10-JAN-07 range. (e.g. OBSDATE= 10-MAR-07, 22-SEP-07, 02-FEB-08, etc.)
    And, none of the results I opened had ANY dates within the SUMMARY CLOB…in case that’s what was being found in the search.

  • Please help with a few drivers for z60m after fresh install

    I got a bad virus(several actually) that I could not eradicate. I was advised to just wipe and reinstall the OS since it is not under warranty anymore. I could not find the recovery disk, must have been lost inthe last military move could not find a replacement recovery disk at the IBM website so  I went out and bought an xpprof OS thinking it should not be that hard to find any drivers XP does not provide . I had no problems doing that on our acer laptop and a friends HP laptop before so was pretty confident.. Boy was I wrong this has been the reinstall from hell. I reinstalled the audiodrivers from theIBM website but the speakers still don't work. The laptop will not recognize the wireless, even after installing the drivers for that and I can't find anything out about why the dock does not work, I assume there are drivers for that too. I also have 4 ugly yellow question marks that I can't seem to get rid of in device manager.  At this point I am already out the price of XP Prof but I really need this laptop my husband took the acer laptop when he deployed to Afghanistan, only because I was confident I could get this one fully functional.  I see now my self confidence was badly misplaced ,even though I am working on a degree in computer technology this laptop is kicking my tush.
    Is there anyone that could help please
    1. help me find why my speakers still dont work even though they are recognized as soundmax in device manager
              I found several references to this issue in the forums but there does not seem to be a resolution
    2. help me figure out why my laptop suddenly (after the fresh install)does not know it even has a wireless capability even after numerous attempts at installing the driver(driver seems to install just finebut upon reboot there is still no wireless available
    3. figure out how I can get my dock to work again
    the laptop has always worked great til now and all these things were functional before the virus and reinstall of the OS)
    4.  get rid of ugly yellow exclamation points under Other Devices, I am sure they must be important( I am sure at least one or more of them has to do with the wireless)
    sorry this is so long Im  just frustrated thanks so much for anyone that can give some guidance on this

    hanaleia, welcome to the forum,
    download and install ThinkVantage System Update, it should get the drivers for you. Please ensure you read down the site as you may need to install a patch for XP SP2.
    Let us know how you get on.
    Regards
