Is there any equivalent to this for powershell?

Is there any equivalent to this for powershell?

Hi! I know it's I little late, but I just found out the answer on Reddit . This does the trick:

function cdj
{
    Param([string]$SearchString)
    pushd ~\*\*\$SearchString*
}

Where ~ is your Windows User folder (you should change this to reflec your actual Johnny.Decimal root folder), and \*\*\ is used to tell PowerShell that it should go two directories deep to find the folder with the numbers you just typed in (32.01, for example). The last * after $SearchString is indicating the computer to look for 32.01whatever, since there shouldn't be two folders with the same code. Please remember to add that last *, because the OP in Reddit forgot to add it in the final answer. This problem came up a little deeper into that thread and he never updated his main post, but kudos to them for figuring this one out.

EDIT: If this is your first time dealing with PS scripts, please remember that you'll need to put the script in a very specific folder. Open PowerShell and type cd $env:PSModulePath to see where your Modules folders are. You can pick whichever you prefer, but I like the one that's in my home folder ~\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules. Inside this folder, you should create one called "cdj", and inside that you'll make your cdj.psm1 file, with the code I pasted above. Finally, you'll have to enable the execution of PS scripts with this simple command: set-executionpolicy unrestricted -force (please keep in mind that this a global change, so be really careful with what you download and execute in the PowerShell.
