Function Out-IniFile { <# .Synopsis Write hash content to INI file .Description Write hash content to INI file .Notes Author : Oliver Lipkau <oliver@lipkau.net> Blog : http://oliver.lipkau.net/blog/ Source : https://github.com/lipkau/PsIni http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/ea40c1ef-c856-434b-b8fb-ebd7a76e8d91 Version : 1.0 - 2010/03/12 - Initial release 1.1 - 2012/04/19 - Bugfix/Added example to help (Thx Ingmar Verheij) 1.2 - 2014/12/11 - Improved handling for missing output file (Thx SLDR) #Requires -Version 2.0 .Inputs System.String System.Collections.Hashtable .Outputs System.IO.FileSystemInfo .Parameter Append Adds the output to the end of an existing file, instead of replacing the file contents. .Parameter InputObject Specifies the Hashtable to be written to the file. 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 type of character encoding used in the file. Valid values are "Unicode", "UTF7", "UTF8", "UTF32", "ASCII", "BigEndianUnicode", "Default", and "OEM". "Unicode" is the default. "Default" uses the encoding of the system's current ANSI code page. "OEM" uses the current original equipment manufacturer code page identifier for the operating system. .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. .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(SupportsShouldProcess = $true, ConfirmImpact = 'Low')] [OutputType([void])] Param( [switch]$Append, [ValidateSet('Unicode', 'UTF7', 'UTF8', 'UTF32', 'ASCII', 'BigEndianUnicode', 'Default', 'OEM', ignorecase = $false)] [PSDefaultValue(Help = 'Default Value is "Unicode"')] [string]$Encoding = 'Unicode', [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, HelpMessage = 'Path and Filename to write the file to.')] [string]$FilePath, [switch]$Force, [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline = $true, HelpMessage = 'The HashTable object name to create the file from', Mandatory = $true)] [Hashtable]$InputObject, [switch]$Passthru ) Begin { $txt = ($Variables.Header -f (Get-Date).ToShortDateString(), $MyInvocation.Mycommand, (Get-FunctionDisplay -HashTable $PsBoundParameters -Verbose:$False) ) Write-Verbose -Message $txt ############################## # Variables Definition } #end Begin Process { if ($PSBoundParameters['Append']) { $outfile = Get-Item -Path $PSBoundParameters['FilePath'] } else { $outfile = New-Item -ItemType file -Path $PSBoundParameters['FilePath'] -Force:$PSBoundParameters['Force'] } #end If-Else if (!($outfile)) { Throw 'Could not create File' } #end If foreach ($i in $InputObject.keys) { if (!($($InputObject[$i].GetType().Name) -eq 'Hashtable')) { #No Sections Write-Verbose -Message "$($myInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Writing key: $i" Add-Content -Path $outfile -Value "$i=$($InputObject[$i])" -Encoding $PSBoundParameters['Encoding'] } else { #Sections Write-Verbose -Message "$($myInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Writing Section: [$i]" Add-Content -Path $outfile -Value "[$i]" -Encoding $PSBoundParameters['Encoding'] Foreach ($j in $($InputObject[$i].keys | Sort-Object)) { if ($j -match '^Comment[\d]+') { Write-Verbose -Message "$($myInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Writing comment: $j" Add-Content -Path $outfile -Value "$($InputObject[$i][$j])" -Encoding $PSBoundParameters['Encoding'] } else { Write-Verbose -Message "$($myInvocation.MyCommand.Name):: Writing key: $j" Add-Content -Path $outfile -Value "$j=$($InputObject[$i][$j])" -Encoding $PSBoundParameters['Encoding'] } #end If-Else } #end Foreach Add-Content -Path $outfile -Value '' -Encoding $PSBoundParameters['Encoding'] } #end If-Else } #end Foreach if ($PSBoundParameters['Passthru']) { Return $outfile } } #end Process End { $txt = ($Variables.Footer -f $MyInvocation.InvocationName, 'writing to INI file (Private Function).' ) Write-Verbose -Message $txt } #end End } #end Function |
