.SYNOPSIS Converts a string to a MemoryStream object. .DESCRIPTION Converts a string to a MemoryStream object. .PARAMETER String A string object for conversion. .PARAMETER Encoding The encoding to use for conversion. Defaults to UTF8. Valid options are ASCII, BigEndianUnicode, Default, Unicode, UTF32, UTF7, and UTF8. .PARAMETER Compress If supplied, the output will be compressed using Gzip. .EXAMPLE $stream = ConvertFrom-StringToMemoryStream -String 'A string' $stream.GetType() IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType -------- -------- ---- -------- True True MemoryStream System.IO.Stream .EXAMPLE $stream = 'A string' | ConvertFrom-StringToMemoryStream $stream.GetType() IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType -------- -------- ---- -------- True True MemoryStream System.IO.Stream .EXAMPLE $streams = ConvertFrom-StringToMemoryStream -String 'A string','Another string' $streams.GetType() IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType -------- -------- ---- -------- True True Object[] System.Array $streams[0].GetType() IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType -------- -------- ---- -------- True True MemoryStream System.IO.Stream .EXAMPLE $streams = 'A string','Another string' | ConvertFrom-StringToMemoryStream $streams.GetType() IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType -------- -------- ---- -------- True True Object[] System.Array $streams[0].GetType() IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType -------- -------- ---- -------- True True MemoryStream System.IO.Stream .EXAMPLE $stream = ConvertFrom-StringToMemoryStream -String 'This string has two string values' $stream.Length 33 $stream = ConvertFrom-StringToMemoryStream -String 'This string has two string values' -Compress $stream.Length 10 .OUTPUTS [System.IO.MemoryStream[]] .LINK http://convert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/functions/ConvertFrom-StringToMemoryStream/ #> function ConvertFrom-StringToMemoryStream { [CmdletBinding(HelpUri = 'http://convert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/functions/ConvertFrom-StringToMemoryStream/')] param ( [Parameter( Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [String[]] $String, [ValidateSet('ASCII', 'BigEndianUnicode', 'Default', 'Unicode', 'UTF32', 'UTF7', 'UTF8')] [String] $Encoding = 'UTF8', [Switch] $Compress ) begin { $userErrorActionPreference = $ErrorActionPreference } process { foreach ($s in $String) { try { [System.IO.MemoryStream]$stream = [System.IO.MemoryStream]::new() if ($Compress) { $byteArray = [System.Text.Encoding]::$Encoding.GetBytes($s) $gzipStream = [System.IO.Compression.GzipStream]::new($stream, ([IO.Compression.CompressionMode]::Compress)) $gzipStream.Write( $byteArray, 0, $byteArray.Length ) } else { $writer = [System.IO.StreamWriter]::new($stream) $writer.Write($s) $writer.Flush() } $stream } catch { Write-Error -ErrorRecord $_ -ErrorAction $userErrorActionPreference } } } } |
