Enter a variable that contains the objects or type a command or expression that gets the objects. .Parameter FilePath Specifies the path to the output file. .Parameter Encoding Specifies the file encoding. The default is UTF8. Valid values are: -- ASCII: Uses the encoding for the ASCII (7-bit) character set. -- BigEndianUnicode: Encodes in UTF-16 format using the big-endian byte order. -- Byte: Encodes a set of characters into a sequence of bytes. -- String: Uses the encoding type for a string. -- Unicode: Encodes in UTF-16 format using the little-endian byte order. -- UTF7: Encodes in UTF-7 format. -- UTF8: Encodes in UTF-8 format. .Parameter Force Allows the cmdlet to overwrite an existing read-only file. Even using the Force parameter, the cmdlet cannot override security restrictions. .Parameter PassThru Passes an object representing the location to the pipeline. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output. .Parameter Loose Adds spaces around the equal sign when writing the key = value .Example Out-IniFile $IniVar "C:\myinifile.ini" ----------- Description Saves the content of the $IniVar Hashtable to the INI File c:\myinifile.ini .Example $IniVar | Out-IniFile "C:\myinifile.ini" -Force ----------- Description Saves the content of the $IniVar Hashtable to the INI File c:\myinifile.ini and overwrites the file if it is already present .Example $file = Out-IniFile $IniVar "C:\myinifile.ini" -PassThru ----------- Description Saves the content of the $IniVar Hashtable to the INI File c:\myinifile.ini and saves the file into $file .Example $Category1 = @{“Key1”=”Value1”;”Key2”=”Value2”} $Category2 = @{“Key1”=”Value1”;”Key2”=”Value2”} $NewINIContent = @{“Category1”=$Category1;”Category2”=$Category2} Out-IniFile -InputObject $NewINIContent -FilePath "C:\MyNewFile.ini" ----------- Description Creating a custom Hashtable and saving it to C:\MyNewFile.ini .Link Get-IniContent #> [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType( [System.IO.FileSystemInfo] )] Param( [switch]$Append, [ValidateSet("Unicode","UTF7","UTF8","ASCII","BigEndianUnicode","Byte","String")] [Parameter()] [string]$Encoding = "UTF8", [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ -IsValid})] [Parameter(Mandatory=$True, Position=0)] [string]$FilePath, [switch]$Force, [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$True,Mandatory=$True)] [System.Collections.IDictionary]$InputObject, [switch]$Passthru, [switch]$Loose ) Begin { Write-Debug "PsBoundParameters:" $PSBoundParameters.GetEnumerator() | ForEach { Write-Debug $_ } if ($PSBoundParameters['Debug']) { $DebugPreference = 'Continue' } Write-Debug "DebugPreference: $DebugPreference" Write-Verbose "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Function started" function Out-Keys { param( [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline=$True,Mandatory=$True)] [System.Collections.IDictionary]$InputObject, [ValidateSet("Unicode","UTF7","UTF8","ASCII","BigEndianUnicode","Byte","String")] [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)] [string]$Encoding = "UTF8", [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidateScript({Test-Path $_ -IsValid})] [Parameter(Mandatory=$True, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true)] [string]$Path, [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)] $delimiter, [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)] $MyInvocation ) Process { Foreach ($key in $InputObject.keys) { if ($key -match "^Comment\d+") { Write-Verbose "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Writing comment: $key" Add-Content -Value "$($InputObject[$key])" -Encoding $Encoding -Path $Path } else { Write-Verbose "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Writing key: $key" Add-Content -Value "$key$delimiter$($InputObject[$key])" -Encoding $Encoding -Path $Path } } } } $delimiter = '=' if ($Loose) { $delimiter = ' = ' } #Splatting Parameters $parameters = @{ Encoding = $Encoding; Path = $FilePath } } Process { if ($append) { Write-Debug ("Appending to '{0}'." -f $FilePath) $outfile = Get-Item $FilePath } else { Write-Debug ("Creating new file '{0}'." -f $FilePath) $outFile = New-Item -ItemType file -Path $Filepath -Force:$Force } if (!(Test-Path $outFile.FullName)) {Throw "Could not create File"} Write-Verbose "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Writing to file: $Filepath" foreach ($i in $InputObject.keys) { if (!($InputObject[$i].GetType().GetInterface('IDictionary'))) { #Key value pair Write-Verbose "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Writing key: $i" Add-Content -Value "$i$equal$($InputObject[$i])" @parameters } elseif ($i -eq $script:NoSection) { #Key value pair of NoSection Out-Keys $InputObject[$i] ` @parameters ` -delimiter $delimiter ` -MyInvocation $MyInvocation } else { #Sections Write-Verbose "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Writing Section: [$i]" # Only write section, if it is not a dummy ($script:NoSection) if ($i -ne $script:NoSection) { Add-Content -Value "`n[$i]" @parameters } if ( $InputObject[$i].Count) { Out-Keys $InputObject[$i] ` @parameters ` -delimiter $delimiter ` -MyInvocation $MyInvocation } } } Write-Verbose "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Finished Writing to file: $FilePath" } End { if ($PassThru) { Write-Debug ("Returning file due to PassThru argument.")
