The second line of the paragraph ends with "... from the Tools menu." This should read "... from the View menu." |

Printed | Page 763 Example 29-1 |
This example has a associated PS scipt. I have tried to run the script by using the actual downloaded script, and also by cutting and pasting the code from the book directly into the Powershell console. I fell that there may be a technical "Code Issue" because this code will not run. I am still a newbie and do not have the experience to fin d the reasons behind why the code in this example. I thought I would just ask to have it checked if you don't mind. |

Printed | Page 871 description of second example of array access by range. |
Second example of array access by range is $myArray[-1..2]. The range values are then described as 'the first number in the range is positive, and the second number in the range is negative', when it should be 'the first number in the range is negative, and the second number in the range is positive'. (The displayed output, and the description of the output, is correct.) |

Printed | Page 975 index entry for "$_(current object variable)" |
Several index entries make reference to pages numbered with roman numerals, but those references appear to be wrong. There are many such, but one example is the entry for "$_ (current object variable)", which cites (only) page ix -- a page within the table of contents. Other apparently incorrect references appear in the index entries for "methods, accessing", "_Confirm parameter", "pipeline character(|)", "providers", and quite a few more terms. I've tried to puzzle out what these erroneous references are intended to be, but I haven't been able to infer a consistent pattern. Perhaps they are intended to reference something other than page numbers? |
