The interval is specified using the regex repetition operator, {min,max}.$a = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'([regex]::matches($a, '.{1,3}') | %{$_.value}) -join ' '([regex]::matches($a, '.{1,8}') | %{$_.value}) -join '..'([regex]::matches($a, '.{1}') | %{$_.value}) -join '-'#outputabc def ghi jkl mno pqr stu vwx yzabcdefgh..ijklmnop..qrstuvwx..yza-b-c-d-e-f-g-h-i-j-k-l-m-n-o-p-q-r-s-t-u-v-w-x-y-zRemoval of $_ and also $PSItem in PS v3In PowerShell, the variable "$_" has special importance. It works like a placeholder in scenarios like this one:PS> Get-ChildItem $env:windir | Where-Object { $_.Length -gt 1MB }In PowerShell v3, there is an alias for the cryptic "$_": $PSItem. So now code can become more descriptive:PS> Get-ChildItem $env:windir | Where-Object { $PSItem.Length -gt 1MB }Then again, in PowerShell v3, "$_" isn't necessary in many scenarios anymore at all. You could also write:Get-ChildItem $env:windir | Where-Object Length -gt 1MBFeedbackSend us feedback atget [dash] scripting [at] hotmail [dot] co [dot] ukor leave a comment here on the blogFollow us on Twitter and join our Facebook Grouphttp://twitter.com/getscriptinghttp://twitter.com/jonathanmeddhttp://twitter.com/alanrenoufGet-Scripting Facebook GroupExtensive list of Powershell Twitterers

I still want the recording to be available so that it can help that product grow and prosper, giving back to those guys the support (and hopefully more revenue to help pay for their mortgages) that they so deserve. For the listeners of this podcast, if you are in need of someone with my skills, either as a Product Manager, a PowerShell MVP, an expert in Windows management (with a strong focus on Active Directory and Exchange although I’ve also gotten deeply involved in virtualization with Hyper-V and VMware as well), a social media/community site manager, or as a freelance writer, my schedule has all of a sudden become much less busy and I’m interested in filling up that time with new work once I come back from vacation, so please get in touch, either through http://poshoholic.com/contact-me/ or through comments on my blog post about my departure from Quest (http://poshoholic.com/2011/07/28/one-for-the-road/).
