Man-Wai, I hope you didn't take the comment as disrespectful as It wasn't meant to be in any way at all ;-)
I must admit that Powershell is a little like Regular Expressions in that once you use it on a regular basis it seems simple but if you only visit it once in a blue moon then the learning or re-learning curve is huge!
Hope you found a solution anyway.
Dave
