It always makes me laugh when MS rips off some other language/software. They have to try and make it 'more intuitive'. Examples in this case are: Comparison Operators -band, -bor bitwise and, bitwise or -match,-notmatch regex pattern matching -like,-notlike globbing pattern matching -eq, -ne Equal, Not equal -gt, -ge Greater than, greater or equal -lt, -le Less than, less or equal -is compare types (1 -is [int]) Case Insensitive variants -imatch, -inotmatch, -ilike, -inotlike, -ieq, -ine, -igt, -ige, -ilt, -ile Stupid and gross, plus harder to read than c-like syntax!
Replace OO and pick with awk and you'll have a CVS file. I'd like to see this OO stuff do anything complicated enough to require an Excel format file.
Except business sense.
I believe HP is "putting a bob both ways". They are still actively developing the PA series in case Merced doesn't pan out.
