Answer 1

@HuuM

There are a slew of powershell commands to assist you with this request. To find them all simply type "Get-Command *AzureStorage*" in PoweShell or narrow that down to blob specifically by using "Get-Command *AzureStorageBlog*".

Now once you see those commands you can start working with the blobs like listing all txt files in a specific container:

Get-AzureStorageBlob -Container myContainer -blob *.txt

Hope that helps, marks as answered if so and PowerShell on my friend!

Answer 3

Use PowerShellGet, so much better and will always grab the latest up to date package.

Find-Package azurerm | install-Package;

That should resolve your issue.

Answer 6

And if you run a "Get-Command -Module AzureRM"; What is the output?

Also do a "Get-Command Get-AzureStor*"; What is the output there as well?

Lastly run "$PSVersionTable"; Show the output of it.
