Tutorial by Examples

This example shows how a function can accept pipelined input, and iterate efficiently. Note, that the begin and end structures of the function are optional when pipelining, but that process is required when using ValueFromPipeline or ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName. function Write-FromPipeline{ ...

This is an example of a function with the simplest possible support for pipelining. Any function with pipeline support must have at least one parameter with the ParameterAttribute ValueFromPipeline or ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName set, as shown below. function Write-FromPipeline { param( ...

In a pipeline series each function runs parallel to the others, like parallel threads. The first processed object is transmitted to the next pipeline and the next processing is immediately executed in another thread. This explains the high speed gain compared to the standard ForEach @( bigFile_1, b...
