NOTES:
These functions are a collection of functions that either interest me, or greatly improve my productivity. I've strived to not use aliases for cmdlets or functions in my code. I've also strived to match case of function names and parameters as they exist in other places (documentation, source code), but I may not have caught all of them. I've tried NOT to rely on positional parameters in calling functions and rather explicitly named the parameters and their values. As a result of these design decisions my code may appear wordy to the reader. Many of the functions have originated from me, but not all of them. I've tried very hard to credit code that I have reused from online. If the source material is taken 'as-is' then I will label in NOTES section of function help the Source. If I modified heavily I state in same section that they were InspiredBy. All code is automatically formatted in VSCode. Here are some of the pertinent settings in VSCode that I use: "editor.formatOnPaste": false, "editor.formatOnSave": false, "editor.formatOnType": true, "editor.tabSize": 4, "editor.trimAutoWhitespace": true, "files.trimFinalNewlines": true, "files.trimTrailingWhitespace": true, "powershell.codeFormatting.autoCorrectAliases": true, "powershell.codeFormatting.ignoreOneLineBlock": true, "powershell.codeFormatting.newLineAfterCloseBrace": false, "powershell.codeFormatting.newLineAfterOpenBrace": true, "powershell.codeFormatting.useCorrectCasing": true, All code has also been loaded into ISE with ISESteroids. Most, if not all, SUGGESTIONS from ISESteroids have been applied, most often 'Missing parameter' suggestions. Code has had Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer run against them so that errors are not thrown. Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer is not perfect however and sometimes returns false positives. For those that returned false positives I added declaration statement(s) after the [Cmdlet()] block to not throw the false positive error. An example declaration is as follows: [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute('PSUseDeclaredVarsMoreThanAssignments','')] ### 2.2.10 * added Get-AppEventsSound - determines sounds configured for Windows events * added Get-ConsoleWindowSize - returns both the window size and buffer size of current console window * added Get-DiskType - returns the type of disk and type of bus for a given computer(s) local disk(s) * added Get-FileSizeOnDisk - returns actual disk usage when NTFS compression is enabled for file(s) * added Get-IpV4Network - to determine network given IP address and subnet mask * added Get-StringHash - to send a string, or array of strings through a hashing function * added Set-EOLTerminator - to convert a text file to either Unix, Mac, or Windows EOL characters * added Set-FileEncoding - to set the file encoding on a text file * added Set-WindowState - to minimize/maximize a window * added Test-CSVFormat - determine if number of fields match header row * removed Get-MD5Sum - functionality already present in Get-FileHash available in Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility module * updated ConvertFrom-Base64 - added $EncodingType to provide support for Ascii, UTF32, etc. encoding * updated ConvertTo-Base64 - added $EncodingType to provide support for Ascii, UTF32, etc. encoding * updated Get-CaesarCipher - to allow negative rotation * updated Get-FileEncoding - allow processing of multiple files, output now shows both encoding and fullname of file * updated Get-PrivateProfileSection - fixed error when ini value contains a backslash '\' * updated Get-SqlIndexFragmentation - fixed ??? * updated Invoke-Beep - fixed ??? * updated Invoke-SoundPlayer - performed a .Dispose() as part of cleanup * updated New-InputBoxSecureString - correct equality test to be case sensitive ### 2.2.9 * added ConvertFrom-HexString - converting a hex string back to plain text: '41' -> 'A' * added ConvertTo-HexString = converting plain text to a hex string: 'A' -> '41' * added Get-ErrorInfo - explain please * added Get-Factorial - calculates the factorial of a number 1-20.
