.SYNOPSIS Svendsen Tech's PowerShell ASCII art module creates ASCII art characters from a subset of common letters, numbers and punctuation characters. You can add new characters by editing the XML (for developers). MIT license. Copyright (c) 2012-present, Joakim Borger Svendsen, Svendsen Tech. All rights reserved. .DESCRIPTION This script reads characters from an XML file that's expected to have the name "letters.xml", be encoded in UTF-8 and to be in the module's working directory. It was written to be used in conjunction with a modified version of PowerBot (http://poshcode.org/2510), a simple IRC bot framework written using SmartIrc4Net; that's why it can prepend an apostrophe - because somewhere along the way the leading spaces get lost before it hits the IRC channel. Currently the XML only contains lowercase letters, mostly because PowerShell/ Windows is case-insensitive by default, which isn't an advantage here. Example: PS C:\> Import-Module WriteAscii PS C:\> Write-Ascii "ASCII!" _ _ _ __ _ ___ ___ (_)(_)| | / _` |/ __| / __|| || || | | (_| |\__ \| (__ | || ||_| \__,_||___/ \___||_||_|(_) PS C:\> .PARAMETER InputText String(s) to convert to ASCII. .PARAMETER PrependChar Optional. Makes the script prepend an apostrophe. .PARAMETER Compression Optional. Compress to five lines when possible, even when it causes incorrect alignment of the letters g, y, p and q (and "¤"). .PARAMETER ForegroundColor Optional. Console only. Changes text foreground color. .PARAMETER BackgroundColor Optional. Console only. Changes text background color. #> function Write-Ascii { # Wrapping the script in a function to make it a module [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter( ValueFromPipeline = $True, Mandatory = $True)] [Alias('InputText')] [String[]] $InputObject, [Switch] $PrependChar, [Switch] $Compression, [String] $ForegroundColor = 'Default', [String] $BackgroundColor = 'Default' #[int] $MaxChars = '25' ) begin { Set-StrictMode -Version Latest $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' # Algorithm from hell...
