powershell syntax error
I am having issues with a script sent to me by a friend (think it is becasue it was written in powershell v1)
the error is:
The '<' operator is reserved for future use.
At F:\test.ps1:159 char:13
+ "Press the < <<<< < space >> bar to start playing."
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (<:OperatorToken) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordE
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : RedirectionNotSupported
The Code is:
"Press the << space >> bar to start playing."
Thanks in advance

I think you've used the wrong key. the back tick is at the top right of the keyboard, usually its the same key as ¬. the character you want will slant back a bit like so. `
You might have to put it by all the < and > symbols, as > and >> can be used to redirect output.

My bad you are right :(. thanks
You could also try using a single quote marks to delimit the string rather than double quotes,
