# Get HASH CODE # # This script defines a function to compute the MD5 hash of a given string. # The hash is returned as a hexadecimal string without dashes. # The function is useful for generating unique keys based on input strings, # such as for caching purposes in a database or other storage. # The hash generated is equal on all environments making it usedfull across computers. function Get-HashCode { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory,ValueFromPipeline,Position=0)] [string]$InputString ) process{ # Generate MD5 hash $md5 = [System.Security.Cryptography.MD5]::Create() $bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($InputString) $hashBytes = $md5.ComputeHash($bytes) $hashString = [BitConverter]::ToString($hashBytes) -replace '-', '' return $hashString } } |
