Some interesting PowerShell snipits.

I was trolling through http://powershell.com/cs/blogs/tips/ and this stuff is gold.

I now consider myself to be intermediate level with PowerShell, so a lot of these tips I just ticked off as, yep cool, know that. 
I have decided to share the stuff I thought worth copying and share with you. If you think there are some good little snipits here, go to the site and check out the other (but still cool) stuff.
 
 #copy paste - clipboard
function Get-Clip {[System.Windows.Forms.ClipBoard]::GetText()}
function Set-Clip {[System.Windows.Forms.ClipBoard]::SetText("sss")}

#ping list function - check for host before running WMI query etc

. {
$obj = New-Object system.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
$result = $obj.Send($_, 1000)
if ($result.status -eq 'Success') { $_ }
}
}

#the format command is automated by passing "volume1" name and "Y"
#"Volume", "Y" | Format i: /FS:NTFS /Q
#dangerous command, it just demonstrates how to script the user typing Y and then the VolumeName for format.exe
