| Command | Synopsis |
|---|---|
| Find-Application | Shows in which folder the given (native) command resides |
| Find-InFiles | Performs an (optionally recursive) file search based on a regular expression |
| Find-UniqueFileName | Find-UniqueFileName [-Path] [[-MaxAttempts] ] [-CreateFile] [] |
| Format-HashTable | Pretty-prints a (nested) hash table |
| Format-Object | Pretty-prints a (nested) object |
| Get-CommandInSameModule | Gets a list of commands that live in the same module as the given command. |
| Get-ContiguousRange | Returns the first item or all items of the first contiguous range of items of the specified length |
| Get-DropboxPath | Get-DropboxPath |
