Windows PowerShell Scripting Sweepstakes!

What also can help is the excelent:
VbScript to Windows PowerShell translation guide
for looking up VbScript commands, or inspiration, for example yo could write a function to do a quick lookup in it
for example you can write a function to do that from the PowerShell console so yo cando :
PoSH>convert-VbScript
PoSH>convert-VbScript inputbox
PoSH>convert-VbScript getObject
to start internet explorer to do a quick lookup in that guide to get help on how to translate the VbScript command you remember to PowerShell, that could be as simple as this :
# for help to convert vbScript commands
Function convert-VbScript ($Command = "default") {
(new-object -com shell.application).Open("http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/topics/winpsh/convert/$command.mspx")
}
Started without the commandname it starts the index otherwise it will bring you directly to the page about the command given
or one to remind how much time long you still have
PoSH>function get-TimeLeftToEnterPowerShellContest {(get-date -date "12/15/2006 23:55").Subtract((get-date))}
PoSH>get-TimeLeftToEnterPowerShellContestDays : 11
