PowershellUtils is a project mainly written in Python, based on the MIT license.
Run powershell commands from within Sublime Text.
This plugin provides an interface to filter buffer text through a Windows Powershell pipeline and run and capture Powershell commands.
Windows Powershell v2
Windows Powershell v2 is preinstalled in Windows 7 and later and it's available
for previous versions of Windows too under the name Windows Management Framework
.
Powershell is a powerful languange and needs to be used carefully to avoid undesired effects.

If you're running a full installation, simply double click on the .sublime-package
files.
If you're running a portable installation, perform an installation by hand
_.
.. _installation by hand: http://sublimetext.info/docs/extensibility/packages.html#installation-of-packages-with-sublime-package-archives
Lastly, run run_powershell
from the Python console or bind this command to
a key combination::
view.run_command("sublime_cmd")
run_powershell
enter
All the currently selected regions in Sublime Text will be piped into your
command sequencially. In turn, you can access each of this regions through the
$_
automatic variable.
Roughly, this is what goes on behind the scenes::
reg1..regN | <your command> | out-string
You can ignore the piped content and treat your command as the start point of the pipeline.
The generated output will be inserted into each region in turn.
(Not all intrinsic commands work.)
The following commands have a special meaning for this plugin:
``!mkh``
Saves the session's history of commands to a file.
``!h``
Brings up the history of commands so you can choose one and run it again.
$_.toupper()
Turns each region's content to all caps.
$_ -replace "","/"
Replaces each region's content as indicated.
"$(date)"
Replaces each region's content with the current date.
"$pwd"
Replaces each region's content with the current working directory.
[environment]::GetFolderPath([environment+specialfolder]::MyDocuments)
Replaces each region's content with the path to the user's My Documents
folder.
0..6|%{ "$($_+1) $([dayofweek]$_)" }
Replaces each region's content with the enumerated week days.
To start a Windows Powershell shell, do either Start-Process powershell
or
cmd /k start powershell
, but don't call Windows Powershell directly because
it will be launched in windowless mode and will block Sublime Text forever.
Should this happen to you, you can execute the following command from an actual
Windows Powershell prompt to terminate all Windows Powershell processes except
for the current session::
Get-Process powershell | Where-Object { $_.Id -ne $PID } | Stop-Process
Alternatively, you can use a shorter version::
gps powershell|?{$_.id -ne $pid}|kill
PowershellUtils can be called with arguments so that the prompt is bypassed. This is interesting if you want to integrate powershell with a separate plugin.
