title: Powershell here-string expansion
body: <p><strong>Here-strings</strong></p>
  
  <p>There are some examples regarding Powershell 'here-string' but I have hardly come across 'here-string' expansion. so I posted this to be of some help.<br><br>
  When you want to add some literal with line breaks, both single and double quotes do not need to be escaped and no need for line breaks like <code>"`r`n"</code>. 'here-strings' comes to the rescue in PowerShell. 
  They should start with </p>
  
  <p>@"<br>
     and line break and should end with line break <br>
    "@</p>
  
  <pre><code>For example:                        |Result:
                                      |
  @"                                  |
  Hello world! 09/25/2014 11:39:56    |      Hello world! 09/25/2014 11:39:56
  '(this will appear as is)'          |      '(this will appear as is)'
  !                                   |      !
  "@                                  |
  </code></pre>
