http://blog.expressionsoftware.com/2010/03/insert-string-every-n-characters.html
This PowerShell v2 script inserts a string every N characters. 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 '..'

Removal of $_ and also $PSItem in PS v3
In PowerShell, the variable "$_" 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 1MB

PowerShell Gotcha
Numeric values as the first character in parameter names:
function foo {
[cmdletbinding()]
param (
[parameter()]
[switch]$32bit
)
if ($32bit){
"32bit"
}
}
PS c:> foo -32bit
foo : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '-32bit'.
Workaround! - $x86
From the language specification document:

(no Nd)

Text file with $false in it, read this into a variable and you have $false
Use it in an If Statement and what do you get (True)
You need to invoke-expression because it has a $ infront of it, so call it with powershell to actually run the powershell code so you can get the results.
[Boolean]$Var = $False
$Var = [System.Convert]::ToBoolean("$True")

Statement from Kirk about leaving Quest
PowerGUI Pro and PowerGUI are fantastic products with a great team, and the guys still working on the product deserve all the praise and attention they can get. 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/).
