Language function BASIC { <# .SYNOPSIS BASIC Language Definition. .DESCRIPTION Allows PipeScript to generate Basic, Visual Basic, and Visual Basic Scripts. Because Basic only allow single-line comments, this is done using a pair of comment markers. A single line comment, followed by a { (or PipeScript { ) begins a block of pipescript. A single line comment, followed by a } (or PipeScript } ) ends a block of pipescript. Only commented lines within this block will be interpreted as PipeScript. ```VBScript rem { rem # Uncommented lines between these two points will be ignored rem # Commented lines will become PipeScript / PowerShell. rem param($message = "hello world") rem "CreateObject(`"WScript.Shell`").Popup(`"$message`")" rem } ``` .EXAMPLE Invoke-PipeScript { $VBScript = ' rem { rem # Uncommented lines between these two points will be ignored rem # Commented lines will become PipeScript / PowerShell. rem param($message = "hello world") rem "CreateObject(`"WScript.Shell`").Popup(`"$message`")" rem } ' [OutputFile('.\HelloWorld.ps1.vbs')]$VBScript } Invoke-PipeScript .\HelloWorld.ps1.vbs #> [ValidatePattern('\.(?>bas|vbs{0,1})$')] param( ) $FilePattern = '\.(?>bas|vbs{0,1})$' # We start off by declaring a number of regular expressions: $SingleLineCommentStart = '(?>''|rem)' $startComment = "(?>(?<IsSingleLine>$SingleLineCommentStart)\s{0,}(?:PipeScript)?\s{0,}\{)" $endComment = "(?>$SingleLineCommentStart\s{0,}(?:PipeScript)?\s{0,}\})" $StartPattern = "(?<PSStart>${startComment})" $EndPattern = "(?<PSEnd>${endComment})" $LinePattern = "^\s{0,}$SingleLineCommentStart\s{0,}" $Compiler = @($ExecutionContext.SessionState.InvokeCommand.GetCommand('dotnet', 'Application'))[0], 'build' # To compile VB.Net, we'll use dotnet build $Runner = @($ExecutionContext.SessionState.InvokeCommand.GetCommand('dotnet', 'Application'))[0], 'run' # Get the first dotnet, if present } |
