Parse and Transform Text File by Using PowerShell (1)
I have used my DebugLog class to investigate issues in Visual Studio projects. The debug messages are pushed to Visual Studio’s output consol. The generated messages may be very extensive huge. For example, I had a case of a Windows application with performance issues of DAO calls. I got about 8233 lines of debug messages just from the start to the main window displayed. I copied the messages to a text file. It is 732K in size. I like to keep the raw messages there; however, it was hard to investigate issues with the extensive raw messages.

Zip Files with PowerShell Script
Recently I have been working on backup files from a remote server in network to another server PC. I use SyncToy tool to sync files from the remote to the server. Each time when you run the SyncToy, it will generate a SyncToy.log file as in “C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\SyncToy\2.0\SyncToyLog.log”.

VIM Syntax Settings
