.VERSION 1.6 .GUID 4ea20bcd-b174-46bc-ba48-08d10066ec5d .AUTHOR Bret Knoll #> <# .SYNOPSIS Used by function Format-OrderedList when receiving input from user .DESCRIPTION Uses pattern match to determine if a entry is numeric #> function isNumeric{ param([object]$item) return $($item -match "^[1-9]{1}[0-9]{0,2}$") } <# .SYNOPSIS Used by function Format-OrderedList to format a single row. .DESCRIPTION Formats each line of input into a number list. #> function Format-Item{ param($item = @{}, [array]$property ) $property | foreach{ $column = $_ "$($item."$column")`t " } } ############### Place external functions here alphabetically function Add-Path{ <# .SYNOPSIS when creating a new script the script sometimes needs to work with files or output files into specific folder structures. Add-Path allows the developer to focus on the code, not the folder creation. .DESCRIPTION Creates each level of a path. Requires elevated permissions to create a path. Currently, does not check if adequate permissions exist to create a path. .EXAMPLE Build-Path -Path "c:\temp\ouptut\Time0930" Each portion of the path is checked, if it does not exist it is created. .EXAMPLE Build-Path -Path "\\servername\ShareName\NewFolder1\NewFolder2" #> param([string]$Path) [string]$testPath = "" if(!(test-path $Path) ){ $pathArray = $Path.Split("\"); for($forCounter = 0;$forCounter -lt $pathArray.length;$forCounter++){ $pathItem = $pathArray[$forCounter]; Write-Verbose $pathItem if($pathItem -eq ""){ $forCounter = 2; #reset the counter $testPath = "\\$($pathArray[$forCounter];)"; $forCounter = 3; $pathItem = $pathArray[$forCounter]; } if($pathItem -like "*:" ){ $testPath = $pathItem } if($pathItem -notlike "*:" ){ $testPath = Join-Path($testPath)$($pathItem) } Write-Verbose $testPath If(!(test-path -Path $testPath)){ $createfolder = New-Item $testPath -ItemType directory } } } return [string]$Path } function Format-OrderedList{ <# .SYNOPSIS Many of powershells functions return streams or lists of items. This function allows the user to choose items by a number in a list without have to sort by name. .DESCRIPTION Format-NumberedList formats lists in to a numbered list, allowing user to choose one or more items in the list. .EXAMPLE PS> Get-Service | SELECT -First 100 | Format-OrderedList 1 : Stopped AJRouter AllJoyn Router Service 2 : Stopped ALG Application Layer Gateway Service 3 : Running
