StartWith Description

Let's say you are scheduling a task that needs some date parameters relative to when the task is run, or you are executing a for loop at the command line that needs better control of formatting (such as zero-padding). Wouldn't it be great if you could leverage your existing knowledge of .NET format strings, rather than having to learn a new syntax? StartWith allows you to do just this. It even determines the correct type of your argument values by trying to parse them as Decimal, Double (use scientific notation, e.g. 5E0 or -2.3E12), DateTime, TimeSpan (returns a DateTime offset from Now), a YearMonthSpan (similar to the XPath 2 yearMonthDuration, using ISO8601 duration syntax: e.g. P1Y2M, -P1M, that also returns a DateTime offset from Now), and just assuming the value is a string otherwise. Get StartWith and take it for a test drive to see just how useful it can be for you!
