I have a solution file that includes some projects inside and I'd like to delete some of them using PowerShell.
The aim is to delete a block of text that contains a string (let's say "abcxyz") starting with "Project" and ends with "EndProject" in the next line (or more than that).
For example:
Project("{1111-2222-FFFF-3333}") = "AutoRun", "..\generate\Infra\generate\generate.csproj", "{999999-UUUUUU-GGGGGG-ABCDEFGH}"
EndProject
Project("{5555-2222-FFFF-3333}") = "SetupSec", "..\generate\Setup.csproj", "{999999-UUUUUU-GGGGGG-ABCDEFGH}"
EndProject
Project("{4444-2222-FFFF-3333}") = "Common.Fyyy", "..\generate\Infra\Common\Common.csproj", "{999999-UUUUUU-GGGGGG-ABCDEFGH}"
EndProject
Project("{9999-2222-FFFF-3333}") = "Command.Console", "..\generate\Path\Console.csproj", "{999999-UUUUUU-GGGGGG-ABCDEFGH}"
EndProject
Project("{7777-2222-FFFF-3333}") = "Infra.GUI", "..\..\generate\GUI.csproj", "{999999-UUUUUU-GGGGGG-ABCDEFGH}"
ProjectSection(ProjectDependencies) = postProject
{AAAA-2222-FFFF-3333} = {999999-UUUUUU-GGGGGG-ABCDEFGH}
EndProjectSection
EndProject
In the example above, I'd like to remove projects contains the string "Infra" in any case.
Is there a simple way of doing it using PowerShell Regex?
(deletion should be done to entire solution file from Project to EndProject)
Thanks,
Shai.
I came here looking for a similar solution. What I did was create this powershell function. It may just be a good jumping off point where you can tailor to your more specific requirements, but it works for me. Enjoy...
function Remove-SourceControl() {
param (
[string]$sourceFilePathname
)
$tempFile = New-TemporaryFile
$filterOn = $false
$fileVersionCorrect = $false
$backupFile = "$sourceFilePathname (backup)"
Copy-Item $sourceFilePathname $backupFile
$rowIndex = 1
Get-Content -Path:$sourceFilePathname | ForEach-Object {
if ($_ -like "*Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00*" ) {
$fileVersionCorrect = $true
}
if ($fileVersionCorrect -eq $true) {
if ($_ -like "*TeamFoundationVersionControl*") { $filterOn = $true }
if (!$filterOn) {
Write-Output $_ | Out-File -FilePath:$tempFile -Append
}
if ($filterOn -and $_ -like "*EndGlobalSection*") { $filterOn = $false }
} else {
Write-Output $_ | Out-File -FilePath:$tempFile -Append
}
$rowIndex++
}
if ($fileVersionCorrect -eq $true) {
Copy-Item $tempFile $sourceFilePathname -Force
}
Remove-Item $tempFile
}
$path = "c:\some-folder-pathname"
Remove-SourceControl "$path\MySoluton.sln"
Assuming your actual file is consistent with the sample data, you can do this without needing to mess with regex at all:
Get-Content $ProjectFile -Delimiter 'EndProject' |
Where-Object {$_ -notlike '*Infra*'} |
Add-Content $NewProjectFile
That will break up the file into separate projects, and then filter out any of them that contain the string "Infra", and write the rest to a new file.
Your question is "is there a simple way in Powershell" and the answer is: No.
Solution files are a nasty old format with various widely-separated parts that depend on each other. It is possible to edit them by hand but it is hard to get right and easy to get wrong.
If you simply want to delete some projects, open the file in Visual Studio, delete the projects, and save it.
If this question is to solve part of a larger problem, you should ask a new question, how to solve that larger problem.

I have a script that I can double click and it'll open other scripts as admin. Works with some things but not everything. For one script, it opens the next window and then immediately closes it. For another, I get this error:
At MYPATH\InstallClient.ps1:33 char:78
+ ... tall_x64.msi" -force -recurse -ErrorAction Stop #Cleans out the file ...

Below is the script to open a script as an admin:
Function Get-FileName($initialDirectory)
{
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.windows.forms") | Out-Null
$OpenFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
$OpenFileDialog.initialDirectory = $initialDirectory
$OpenFileDialog.filter = "PS1 (*.ps1)| *.ps1"
$OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog() | Out-Null
$OpenFileDialog.filename
}
$inputfile = Get-FileName "MYPATH\Scripts"
powershell.exe -noprofile -command "&{start-process powershell -ArgumentList '-NoExit -noprofile -file $inputfile' -verb RunAs}"
This is the script that it gives the previous error for while trying to open:
Function Get-FileName($initialDirectory) #Function to choose a file

$OpenFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog

Remove-Item "\\$computername\C$\windows\temp\ShadowSuiteClientInstall_x64.msi" -force -recurse -ErrorAction Stop #Cleans out the file we copied into the temp folder
}
}
Does anyone have any ideas on why this will open some things fine but give this error for this script and immediately close other scripts without running them? Does anyone have a better way to navigate through scripts and select one to open as admin?
Ok I figured this out. I loaded the script into powershell ISE and I saw that it was compiling it incorrectly. It kept turning the -Scriptblock into an ae symbol instead of the - in front of scriptblock. Weird AF IMO but ok, I fixed it in ISE, which I recommend to anyone struggling with weird compiling errors like this.
I am able to get the free space as ouptut by using the following code.
$body +=echo "------------Free space on Datastore.--------------"`r`n""`r`n""
$body +=get-datastore -name *datastore1* | sort Name | ForEach-Object {
$output=New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property #{
Freespace = "$([math]::Round($_.FreeSpaceGB, 2)) GB"
Datastore_Name = $_.Name
}
}
Write-Output $output
Is it possible to raise a ticket if the free space is less than 2 GB? If so, how should I change my code?
EDIT :
if (get-datastore | where {$_.FreeSpaceGB -lt 2}){"dosomething"}
or
foreach ($ds in (get-datastore | where {$_.FreeSpaceGB -lt 2})){"dosomething"}
I am trying to test my PowerShell code using Pester. I want to mock out-file for the following line:
$interactiveContent | Out-File -Append -FilePath (Join-Path $destDir $interactiveOutputFile)
But I want to give my own file path while testing.
I have tried the following:
Mock Out-File {
$destDir = 'c:\snmp_poc_powershell\'
$interactiveOutputFile = 'abc.csv'
}
but it is not working.
Here is a way to Mock Out-File such that it writes to a different location when running testing:
Describe 'Mocking out-file' {
$outFile = Get-Command Out-File
Mock Out-File {
$MockFilePath = '.\Test\Test.txt'
& $outFile -InputObject $InputObject -FilePath $MockFilePath -Append:$Append -Force:$Force -NoClobber:$NoClobber -NoNewline:$NoNewline
}
It 'Should mock out-file' {
"Test" | Out-File -FilePath Real.txt -Append | Should Be $null
}
}
This solution came from the developers of Pester after I raised this as an issue on Github. I had found that you can't directly call the cmdlet you are mocking from within the Mock, but they advised this solution where you use Get-Command to put the cmdlet in to a variable and then use & to invoke it instead of the cmdlet directly.
Per the other answer, Out-File doesn't return any value, so in the Pester test we simply test for $null as the result. You would probably also want to add subsequent (integration-style) tests that you test file had been created and had the values you expect.
So the code snippet is definitely a problem, your not returning any values so the mock will just be empty, however out-file never actually returns anything to begin with so I'm not exactly sure what output you are mocking? unless you just want it to pretend to output to a file and move to the next stage in your pipeline, which your current code does(so would just doing Mock Out-File {}.
However if you are looking to output to a different path why not just use that path when you create the variables for your test and not bother with a Mock?
Requirement : After clicking on webpage named in $ie.Navigate below. I Need to access HTML / OuterHTML source of Web-page which opens next.
Ex: When I open https://www.healthkartplus.com/search/all?name=Sporanox (by setting $control = Sporanox), below code simply clicks on first matching link. After link is clicked, I need to access HTML of resulting page.
Update : referred another SO question and learned that we can search appropriate window. Code seems to be working for some scenarios but not for all. For $ie2 I get problem accessing Document property.
function getStringMatch
{
# Loop through all 2 digit combinations in the $path directory
foreach ($control In $controls)
{
$ie = New-Object -COMObject InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.visible = $true
$site = $ie.Navigate("https://www.healthkartplus.com/search/all?name=$control")
$ie.ReadyState
while ($ie.Busy -and $ie.ReadyState -ne 4){ sleep -Milliseconds 100 }
$link = $null
$link = $ie.Document.get_links() | where-object {$_.innerText -eq "$control"}
$link.click()
while ($ie.Busy -and $ie.ReadyState -ne 4){ sleep -Milliseconds 100 }
$ie2 = (New-Object -COM 'Shell.Application').Windows() | ? {
$_.Name -eq 'Windows Internet Explorer' -and $_.LocationName -match "^$control"
}
# NEED outerHTML of new page. CURRENTLY it is working for some.
$ie.Document.body.outerHTML > d:\med$control.txt
}
}
$controls = "Sporanox"
getStringMatch
I think the issue is when you look for the links in the first page.
The link innerText is not equal to $control, it contains $control i.e. innerText is "Sporanox (100mg)".
The following might help:
$link = $ie.Document.get_links() | where-object {if ($_.innerText){$_.innerText.contains($control)}}
EDIT
Here is the complete code I'm using:
function getStringMatch
{
# Loop through all 2 digit combinations in the $path directory
foreach ($control In $controls)
{
$ie = New-Object -COMObject InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.visible = $true
$site = $ie.Navigate("https://www.healthkartplus.com/search/all?name=$control")
$ie.ReadyState
while ($ie.Busy -and $ie.ReadyState -ne 4){ sleep -Milliseconds 100 }
$link = $null
$link = $ie.Document.get_links() | where-object {if ($_.innerText){$_.innerText.contains($control)}}
$link.click()
while ($ie.Busy)
{
sleep -Milliseconds 100
}
# NEED outerHTML of new page. CURRENTLY it is working for some.
$ie.Document.body.outerHTML > d:\med$control.txt
}
}
$controls = "Sporanox"

I am trying to work with NETSH from PowerShell. I want see a result from this command such as an object, but netsh returns a string:
netsh wlan show hostednetwork | Get-Member
TypeName: System.String
...
My script must work on system with rather localization, and I can't use -match for parsing a string to an object directly.
How I can solve my trouble?
$netshResult = Invoke-Command -Computername localhost {netsh int tcp show global}
$result = #{}
$netshObject = New-Object psobject -Property #{
ReceiveSideScalingState = $Null
ChimneyOffloadState = $Null
NetDMAState = $Null
}
$netshResult = $netshResult | Select-String : #break into chunks if colon only
$i = 0
while($i -lt $netshResult.Length){
$line = $netshResult[$i]
$line = $line -split(":")
$line[0] = $line[0].trim()
$line[1] = $line[1].trim()
$result.$($line[0]) = $($line[1])
$i++
}
$netshObject.ReceiveSideScalingState = $result.'Receive-Side Scaling State'
$netshObject.ChimneyOffloadState = $result.'Chimney Offload State'
$netshObject.NetDMAState = $result.'NetDMA State'
You got a few alternatives, none of which are nice.
1) Read the netsh output into a string[] and use a custom record parser to create your own object. That is, look at the output on different locales and find out if, say, Hosted newtork settings is always the first header followed by bunch of - characters. If that's the case, assume that next element in array is Mode and so on. This is very error prone, but usually MS command line tools only translate messages, not their order.
2) Look for .Net API for the same information. There is System.Net.NetworkInformation which contains a bunch of connection things. It's a start, though I am not sure if it has info you need.
3) Failing the previous options, use P/Invoke to call native Win32 API. It's a lot of work, so look for pre-existing wrapper libraries before rolling your own.
I recently wrote a cmdlet to parse arbitrary, multi-line text using regular expressions, called ConvertFrom-Text. (Not a great name, if you ask me, but it conforms to the PowerShell naming rules; suggestions are welcome!) So assuming you have that cmdlet, here is one possible solution to your question. (Caveat emptor! The regular expression given was derived from a very small sample of netsh output, so may need some tuning.)
$regex = [regex] '(?ms)(?:^\s*$\s*)?^(?<section>.*?)\s*-+\s*(?<data>.*?)\s*^\s*$'
$result = netsh wlan show hostednetwork | Out-String |
ConvertFrom-Text -pattern $regex -multiline
$result | % {
$dataObj = [PsCustomObject]#{}
$_.Data -split "`r`n" | % {
$element = $_ -split '\s*:\s*'
Add-Member -InputObject $dataObj -MemberType NoteProperty -Name $element[0].Trim() -Value $element[1].Trim()
}
$_.Data = $dataObj # Replace data text with data object
}
$result
On my test system, netsh wlan show hostednetwork returns this:
Hosted network settings
-----------------------
Mode : Allowed
Settings : <Not configured>
Hosted network status
---------------------
Status : Not available
And the output of the $result variable in the code above yields this:
section data
------- ----
Hosted network settings #{Mode=Allowed; Settings=<Not configured>}
Hosted network status #{Status=Not available}
So $result is an array of objects with section and data properties, and the latter is an object with properties defined by the output of the netsh command.
Of course, the above does not get you very far without the ConvertFrom-Text cmdlet. So here is the implementation. (I have copious documentation and examples for it, which will be publicly available once I eventually add it to my open-source PowerShell library.)
