Wolfgang Sommergut has over 20 years of experience in IT journalism. He has also worked as a system administrator and as a tech consultant. Today he runs the German publication WindowsPro.de.

When working with file names, you occasionally have to extract the drive, path, or file name. The cmdlets Get-ChildItem and Split-Path will do the job. The latter is also able to parse paths in the registry or in AD if you mount them as drives.
