The most basic example of a string function is the length(string) function. This function returns the length of a string literal. Other languages may have string functions with similar or exactly the same syntax or parameters or outcomes.

Once installed, there are various ways of running PowerShell: On Windows 8, from the Start Screen, begin typing powershell and either press Enter after typing the whole word, or click the search result named “Windows PowerShell”.

PowerShell's weaknesses in programming tend to come in around its lack of higher-end programmatic structures like classes, inheritance, strict scoping, and that kind of thing. v5 is a huge step in addressing the high end, actually.

String functions are used in computer programming languages to manipulate a string or query information about a string (some do both). Most programming languages that have a string datatype will have some string functions although there may be other low-level ways within each language to handle strings directly. In object-oriented languages, string functions are often implemented as properties and methods of string objects.

Is PowerShell a scripting language? PowerShell is, first and foremost, a command-line environment. You run commands. PowerShell does have a few (just under two dozen) intrinsic keywords that form a sort of scripting language: If, For, Switch, and so on.

Is PowerShell a scripting language? A. Someone's going to get mad at me no matter which way I answer this, so I'll say yes and no.. PowerShell is, first and foremost, a command-line environment. You run commands. PowerShell does have a few (just under two dozen) intrinsic keywords that form a sort of scripting language: If, For, Switch, and so on. So you can add logical, decision-making capabilities to a script as it grows more complex.

I was having a conversation with a peer, of mine, the other day. It was my assertion that PowerShell, at a minimum, blurs the line between programming and scripting. We then began to define what made a language a programming language. In most if not all cases, PowerShell seemed to be able to do those things. I would be interested in someone else's opinion on what separates traditional programming languages from, specifically, PowerShell.

So PowerShell has a scripting language, but isn't a scripting language in and of itself. I find that thinking of PowerShell as scripting tends to lead to VBScript-style scripts, which often miss much of the flexibility, power, and concise operation that a pure-PowerShell approach would offer.
