> I guess you're not yet familiar with PowerShell or never used it

This is correct - my example wasn't intentionally complex, but the result of googling and looking at the top answers (cmd was deficient, and I was wondering how you'd do the same thing in the 'proper' windows shell). I'm glad I have got the responses I did - I didn't mean to deride powershell, but show that if you want more power, you end up with more complex commands - and at the cli, I'd rather be typing in the unix example that the powershell one.

In any case, powershell should be better than the other shells we're talking about - it's from 2006, and the others are considerably older.
