PowerShell article

[Brian Grossman]

Imagine bash friends with an option for more structure than arbitrarily
formatted text.  I would occasionally like an option to emit json from many
commands in order to avoid parsing.  As a poor example:

    tree -Jp -L 3 | jq -r '.. | objects | select( .type? == "file" ) |
.name | select( test( "[.]ini$" ))'

is kinda-sorta-almost equivalent to

    find -maxdepth 3 -type f -name \*.ini
