In PowerShell 5.0+, you would use: “TestTest” | Out-File -encoding ascii test.txt -NoNewline But in earlier versions you simply can’t with that cmdlet. Try this: [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($FilePath,”TestTest”,[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII)
Pretty grid $colors = [enum]::GetValues([System.ConsoleColor]) Foreach ($bgcolor in $colors){ Foreach ($fgcolor in $colors) { Write-Host “$fgcolor|” -ForegroundColor $fgcolor -BackgroundColor $bgcolor -NoNewLine } Write-Host ” on $bgcolor” } Updated colours in newer powershell: https://gist.github.com/timabell/cc9ca76964b59b2a54e91bda3665499e
You should use Measure-Object to count things. In this case it would look like: Write-Host ( Get-ChildItem c:\MyFolder | Measure-Object ).Count; or if that’s too long Write-Host ( dir c:\MyFolder | measure).Count; and in PowerShell 4.0 use the measure alias instead of mo Write-Host (dir c:\MyFolder | measure).Count;
Have a look here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2006/04/25/583235.aspx and here: http://poshcode.org/2226: function Set-Culture([System.Globalization.CultureInfo] $culture) { [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $culture [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = $culture } Additional Info To find which values can be used for $culture: This will give you a list of Culture Types: [Enum]::GetValues([System.Globalization.CultureTypes]) Selecting one of the above types (e.g. AllCultures) you can then list the available values … Read more
The -Force argument for Get-ChildItem will cause it to include hidden files and directories. Get-ChildItem -Force | Where-Object { $_.PSIsContainer } | ForEach-Object { $_.Name + “: ” + “{0:N2}” -f ((Get-ChildItem $_ -Recurse -Force | Measure-Object Length -Sum -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Sum / 1MB) + ” MB” }
To get this to work, you must configure both your local and remote computers. On the remote server, run the following command: Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role server You’ll know things are confgured correctly if you run the Get-WSManCredSSP cmdlet and get the following output: The machine is not configured to allow delegating fresh credentials. This computer is … Read more
Suppose you want to write that in the same file, you can do as follows: Set-Content -Path “C:\temp\Newtext.txt” -Value (get-content -Path “c:\Temp\Newtext.txt” | Select-String -Pattern ‘H\|159’ -NotMatch)
Look closely at the two dashes in unzipRelease –Src ‘$ReleaseFile’ -Dst ‘$Destination’ This first one is not a normal dash but an en-dash (– in HTML). Replace that with the dash found before Dst.
You first have to ‘dot’ source the script, so for you : . .\Get-NetworkStatistics.ps1 The first ‘dot’ asks PowerShell to load the script file into your PowerShell environment, not to start it. You should also use set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted or set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned see(the Execution Policy instructions).
Setting an execution policy to RemoteSigned or Unrestricted should work. It must be changed under an administrator mode via a PowerShell console. Be aware that changes will be applied according to the bit version of the PowerShell console, so 32bit or 64 bit. So if you want to install a package in Visual Studio (32 … Read more
