Hi,
POSH noob here.

Very simple thing. I want to ensure that the output from sme of my cmdlets doesn't go to the console.

For example, "mkdir FolderName" produces quite a lot of output. Is there an easy way to pipe it into another cmdlet that just "swallows it up" and doesn't do anything?

I'm sure there's an obvious way of doing this but I can't figure it out.

thanks
Jamie

"| Out-Null" or start the cmd with "[void]"

awesome. I knew it would be simple.Thank you very much.

To summarize the thread (and to add one more alternative):

• pipe to Out-Null: expression | Out-Null
• convert to [null]: [null](expression)
• assign to $null: $null = expression

thank you all. i've bookemarked this thread on delicious in case anyone's bothered http://delicious.com/jamiethomson/powershell
