PowerShell Tip : Open Files in ISE Editor from PowerShell Console.

 

In one of my previous PowerShell tips, I have share that how can we create a new black PowerShell script on the fly.

After that post, I was thinking about, that how can we open that script or any other script from PowerShell console in to ISE.

I was thinking and trying to find the way, when I found it, I just thought it's too simple.

Just use ISE and path to the script to open.. Simple  

/... but make sure you have ISE installed.

Thanks for your time,

Regards.

   • 
4. Update Powershell Help
   • Now we can “Update Powershell Help” using Powershell ISE 3.0, it is very simple.
   • Click on “help” and click on “Update Windows PowerShell Help” {it run update-help cmdlet actually }
   • 
   • and it will start updating all Powershell Help files.
   • 
5. New Menu bar Items
   • Microsoft had added two new menu bar items.
     • Tools
     • Add-ons
6. Themes
   • Now we have a option of customise how our Script pane and Console pane look like.
