Select-String helps for text, but outputs MatchInfo not String. And doesn't help for any of the operators except -match.\r\n\r\nUsed without -Property it could implicitly use `$_` with whatever casting that implies, the same as if you'd written `{ $_ -operator 'value' }` as the filterscript.\r\n\r\nAnd then you could do:\r\n\r\n    PS C:\\\u003e 'test.txt', '', 'example.xml' | ? | foreach { .. }\r\n\r\nand that would implicitly act like `? { $_ }` which does a boolean cast on the object and passes true ones.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/HumanEquivalentUnit","@type":"Person","name":"HumanEquivalentUnit"},"datePublished":"2018-11-29T05:25:15.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":28},"url":"https://github.com/8357/PowerShell/issues/8357"}
