<# .SYNOPSIS Gets a random number between the provided min and max. .DESCRIPTION Gets a random number between the provided minimum and maximum values using the Get-Random cmdlet and passing in an array containing every value between the min and max and asking for 1 result. .PARAMETER Min The smallest value you wish to retrieve (inclusive). .PARAMETER Max The largest value you wish to retrieve (inclusive). .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-RandomNumber -Min 0 -Max 10 3 #> function Get-RandomNumber { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 0)] [float] $Min, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 1)] [float] $Max ) $Min .. $Max | Get-Random -Count 1 } <# .SYNOPSIS Gets a random string of characters. .DESCRIPTION Gets a random string of characters, if a value isn't provided for the CharacterCount parameter, then 10 random characters are generated and returned as the final string. .PARAMETER CharacterCount The length of the string you wish to generate. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-RandomString e1TtxKYU3hf .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-RandomString -CharacterCount 15 osdAcoTJurCLZR3B #> function Get-RandomString { param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, Position = 0)] [int] $CharacterCount = 10 ) $StringBuilder = New-Object -TypeName System.Text.StringBuilder while ($StringBuilder.Length -le $CharacterCount) { [char]$RandomChar = (46 .. 57) + (65 .. 90) + (97 .. 122) | Get-Random -Count 1 [void]$StringBuilder.Append($RandomChar) } $StringBuilder.ToString() } <# .SYNOPSIS Reverses the provided string(s) and returns it/them. .DESCRIPTION Reverses the provided string(s) by converting them to an array and calling the [System.Array]::Reverse() method then joining the results back to a new string. .PARAMETER InputStr The string(s) you wish to reverse. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-ReversedString -InputStr 'value1' 1eulav .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-ReversedString -InputStr 'value1', 'value2', 'value3', 'value4' 1eulav 2eulav 3eulav 4eulav #> function Get-ReversedString { [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 0)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string[]]$InputStr ) $Output = New-Object String[] $InputStr.Length for ($x = 0; $x -lt $InputStr.Length; $x++) { $ArrayStr = $InputStr[$x].ToCharArray() [System.Array]::Reverse($ArrayStr) $ReversedString = -join ($ArrayStr) $Output[$x] = $ReversedString } return $Output } |
