I pasted a version of the script which supports that here http://poshcode.org/1195 -- the key is that you can put a wildcard in, and then use @$match@ in your script ... like: <code lang="posh"> Add-SpeechCommands @{ "Define * please" = { $term = $_ -replace "$Computer, Define (.*) please",'$1' Say (Get-Definition $term) } }</code> For now, I'll leave it up to you to write the implementation of Get-Definition ;) ... but bear in mind that the * can match more than one word, so it's up to you to either write a sensible script ... or speak carefully ;)a That blog post is coming very soon ;) but since you asked so nicely … I pasted a version of the script which supports that here http://poshcode.org/1195 — the key is that you can put a wildcard in, and then use $match in your script … like:

Add-SpeechCommands  @{
   "Define * please" = {

For now, I’ll leave it up to you to write the implementation of Get-Definition ;) ... but bear in mind that the * can match more than one word, so it’s up to you to either write a sensible script … or speak carefully ;) a
