## Start-Demo.ps1 ################################################################################################## ## This is an overhaul of Jeffrey Snover's original Start-Demo script by Joel "Jaykul" Bennett ## ## I've switched it to using ReadKey instead of ReadLine (you don't have to hit Enter each time) ## As a result, I've changed the names and keys for a lot of the operations, so that they make ## sense with only a single letter to tell them apart (sorry if you had them memorized). ## ## I've also been adding features as I come across needs for them, and you'll contribute your ## improvements back to the PowerShell Script repository as well. ################################################################################################## ## Revision History (version 3.3) ## 3.3.3 Fixed: Script no longer says "unrecognized key" when you hit shift or ctrl, etc. ## Fixed: Blank lines in script were showing as errors (now printed like comments) ## 3.3.2 Fixed: Changed the "x" to match the "a" in the help text ## 3.3.1 Fixed: Added a missing bracket in the script ## 3.3 - Added: Added a "Clear Screen" option ## - Added: Added a "Rewind" function (which I'm not using much) ## 3.2 - Fixed: Put back the trap { continue; } ## 3.1 - Fixed: No Output when invoking Get-Member (and other cmdlets like it???) ## 3.0 - Fixed: Commands which set a variable, like: $files = ls ## - Fixed: Default action doesn't continue ## - Changed: Use ReadKey instead of ReadLine ## - Changed: Modified the option prompts (sorry if you had them memorized) ## - Changed: Various time and duration strings have better formatting ## - Enhance: Colors are settable: prompt, command, comment ## - Added: NoPauseAfterExecute switch removes the extra pause ## If you set this, the next command will be displayed immediately ## - Added: Auto Execute mode (FullAuto switch) runs the rest of the script ## at an automatic speed set by the AutoSpeed parameter (or manually) ## - Added: Automatically append an empty line to the end of the demo script ## so you have a chance to "go back" after the last line of you demo ################################################################################################## ## param( $file = ".\demo.txt", [int]$command = 0, [System.ConsoleColor]$promptColor = "Yellow", [System.ConsoleColor]$commandColor = "White", [System.ConsoleColor]$commentColor = "Green", [switch]$FullAuto, [int]$AutoSpeed = 3, [switch]$NoPauseAfterExecute ) $RawUI = $Host.UI.RawUI $hostWidth = $RawUI.BufferSize.Width # A function for reading in a character function Read-Char() { $_OldColor = $RawUI.ForeGroundColor $RawUI.ForeGroundColor = "Red" $inChar = $RawUI.ReadKey("IncludeKeyUp") # loop until they press a character, so Shift or Ctrl, etc don't terminate us while ($inChar.Character -eq 0) { $inChar = $RawUI.ReadKey("IncludeKeyUp") } $RawUI.ForeGroundColor = $_OldColor return $inChar.Character } function Rewind($lines, $index, $steps = 1) { $started = $index; $index -= $steps; while (($index -ge 0) -and ($lines[$index].Trim(" `t").StartsWith("#"))) { $index-- } if ( $index -lt 0 ) { $index = $started } return $index } $file = Resolve-Path $file while (-not(Test-Path $file)) { $file = Read-Host "Please enter the path of your demo script (Crtl+C to cancel)" $file = Resolve-Path $file } Clear-Host $_lines = Get-Content $file # Append an extra (do nothing) line on the end so we can still go back after the last line. $_lines += "Write-Host 'The End'" $_starttime = [DateTime]::now #$FullAuto = $false Write-Host -nonew -back black -fore $promptColor $(" " * $hostWidth) Write-Host -nonew -back black -fore $promptColor @" <Demo Started :: $(split-path $file -leaf)>$(' ' * ($hostWidth -(18 + $(split-path $file -leaf).Length))) "@ Write-Host -nonew -back black -fore $promptColor "Press" Write-Host -nonew -back black -fore Red " ?
