Get-IseSnippet
Gets snippets that the user created. PowerShell reference
From the PowerShell reference
What it does
Gets snippets that the user created. The Get-IseSnippet cmdlet gets the PS1XML files that contain reusable text snippets that the user created. It works only in Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE). When you use the New-IseSnippet cmdlet to create a snippet, New-IseSnippet creates a <SnippetTitle>.Snippets.ps1xml file in the $HOME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Snippets directory. Get-IseSnippet gets the snippet files in the Snippets directory. This cmdlet does not get built-in snippets or snippets that are imported from modules through the Import-IseSnippet cmdlet. This cmdlet was introduced in Windows PowerShell 3.0.
