Rediscovering Good Ideas

Recently a teammate came up with a great idea: Create a way to quickly search the content of our Powershell script library.   Wouldn't it be great to know "which scripts reference specific servers?"   What if we had a way to determine "what scripts use the following command?" 

Although the script is fairly basic, the yield can be very powerful!

Easy to understand search

Matches displayed in a hash table

Selected script displayed in a temporary text file to avoid accidental overwrites. 

Here are the basics of the script:

    1) set the path to the library that will be searched

    2) create a hash table of the search results
    3) display the hash table and ask the user to make a selection

    4) get the full path to the script that was selected

    5) read the script into a temporary file (helps avoid accidental overwrites)
