In the previous tip we showed how you can use the PowerShell command mode to easily create lists of quoted strings. This can be really useful for creating code, and saves a lot of typing.
Here is a function that can help in everyday PowerShell coding life:
function s+ { "'$($args -join "','")'" | Set-ClipBoard }
Next time you need a list of quoted strings in your code, simply type:
PS> s+ start stop pause end whatever PS> 'start','stop','pause','end','whatever' start stop pause end whatever PS>
The quoted strings are then available in your clipboard, and you can paste them into your code wherever needed.
