Powershell output as boolean

Hello Scripting guys
Please prompt me. How i can get output as true or false, assume from Get-ADUser "j.maxi" or another cmdlet which outputs string, int, array?

This is very eash in PowerShell.
if(Get-ADUser "j.maxi" -ea 0){
    'user found'
}else{
    'user ot found'
The result of a get is always true or false by design. the same is tru if you want to save the result.
If($user=ADUser "j.maxi" -ea 0){
     # process user
}else{
    'user not found'
No need for any fancy stuff. This is builtin. It is a carryover from standard programming practices. We do this in C and C# all of the time. The makers of PowerShell liked it so they used it.

[Forum FAQ] How to format and combine PowerShell outputs

Format the output with “Format-Table” and “Format-list”
Sometimes when we query Powershell cmdlet, we would get ellipses in the result, which is not desirable.
In this scenario, we can use the cmdlet “Format-Table” and “Format-list” to view the entire output:
Get-Service | where{$_.name -like "BrokerInfrastr*"}
Get-Service | where{$_.name -like "BrokerInfrastr*"}|Format-Table –AutoSize
Get-Service | where{$_.name -like "BrokerInfrastr*"}|Format-list

Powershell output format

Hi
I'm looking for the best way to output data from my powershell.
Basically im running a ForEach loop and want to print different data
foreach ($line in $data){
Eg.
get-mailbox | select-object identity,emailaddresses
get-mailbox | format-table identity,emailaddresses
get-mailbox | format-table identity,emailaddresses -Autosize
The emailaddresses value is to long to display in my powershell window (eventhoug I have set the Width extremely long)
The output is displayed as
{smtp:jel@XXX, SMTP:jel@xxx, SIP:jel@xxx, smtp:Jere_Lain...
I would like to get the hole string
cannot get select-object or format-table to Work for me
Format-table is not good to use in my ForEach loop
is there any best practise how to output data in the powershell window in a foreach loop ?
Any input is apreciated.

A: Powershell output format

Hi again
I will try to explain a bit more about what i'm trying to achieve.
I have a list of users
"usr01","usr2",usr3"
For each user I woul like to print to the console (or csv if not possible)
Display Name,WindowsEmailAddress,ExternalEmailAddress,EmailAddresses
User01,[email protected],usr01ext.maildomain.com,STMP:[email protected];sip:[email protected]:smtp:[email protected];smtp:[email protected]
User02,[email protected],usr02ext.maildomain.com,SMTP:[email protected];sip:[email protected]:smtp:[email protected];smtp:[email protected]
User03,[email protected],usr03ext.maildomain.com,SMTP:[email protected];sip:[email protected]:smtp:[email protected];smtp:[email protected]
Maby more or other object attribute i the future
The format above is a wish scenario, I don't have a fixed size on any attribute, they can vary much in length.
also the last part of the UPN can be different.
What is the best way to output the result
When using Array, I seem to get too much info out it adds @{attributename=attribute;attributename=attribute}
I can't get Write-host to output the result even using "`t" because I don´t have a fixed length.
Normally I would use | Select-Object attribute01,attribute02
But this prints the header each time it is run, and when using it in a foreach loop gives me a lot for headers.
should I go for Export-csv instead ?
Or is there a magig powershell comand I don't know about.

Powershell output results log

Hi guys.
I have a question and do not know if you can
help me.
I do not know much about Powershell,
but I created a script that disables,
moves and changes the description of dismissed
enterprise users through the registration number
(POBOX in my case).
The question is would you like to generate a log
each time this script was executed,
stating whether or not the actions were
performed successfully.
Tested
with some examples I found on Technet
but did not work.
Does anyone havea hint howcan I includethis functionalityin my script?
$csvFile = ".\list.csv"
$disabledUsersOU = "<OU DESTINATION>"
Import-Csv $csvFile | ForEach {
$f = $_.POBox;
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Disable-ADAccount
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Set-ADUser -Description "Disable User Script v4"
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Move-ADObject -TargetPath $disabledUsersOU
$user = Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} -Properties MemberOf
foreach ($group in ($user | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MemberOf))
Remove-ADGroupMember -Identity $group -Members $user -Confirm:$false
Thanks a lot.
David Soares MCTS:MBS - MCTS - MCITP

You could try something like this:
$csvFile = ".\list.csv"
$disabledUsersOU = "<OU DESTINATION>"
$Results = Import-Csv $csvFile | ForEach {
$f = $_.POBox;
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Disable-ADAccount
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Set-ADUser -Description "Disable User Script v4"
Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} | Move-ADObject -TargetPath $disabledUsersOU
$user = Get-ADUser -Filter {POBox -eq $f} -Properties MemberOf,Description,Enabled
foreach ($group in ($user | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MemberOf))
Remove-ADGroupMember -Identity $group -Members $user -Confirm:$false
$user = Get-ADUser $user -properties MemberOf,POBox,Description
New-Object PSObject -property @{User=$user.samaccountname;POBox=$user.POBox;Description=$user.Description;MemberOf=(($user | select -expand MemberOf) -join ",");Enabled=$user.Enabled;DN=$user.DistinguishedName}
$Results | Select User,POBox,Description,MemberOf,Enabled | Export-CSV ".\results.csv" -NoType
All I really added was to create New-Object for each user and each one gets included in $Results, which gets piped to a csv file. This way you can see what may or may not have succeeded. The alternative is to evaluate each of the values and compare
it to what you expect - if any of them are not what you would expect, then User = fail and instead of the new-object line and having all of the output go to $Results you could do:
Out-File ".\results.log" -InputObject "$($User.sAMAccountName) = FAIL" -append
(or PASS, or SUCCESS, or whatever works). The reason I provided the approach above is that you have a complete picture of the results.
The select in the last line orders the columns in the CSV, otherwise Powershell chooses the order and it isn't usually what you would like.
I hope this post has helped!

Output a boolean bit on gpib using VISA

The program that is being developed is to test a California Instruments power supply model 801RP.
The problem is with the function that switches the output of the power supply on and off, the command is "outp <boolean>".
The question I am raising, how can I send this command with a visa transfer over a gpib interface?

Hi,
Its as Dennis says,
Just send the string "outp 0" to set the output off and "outp 1" to set the output on.
If you have a boolean control, wire this to the boolean to numeric converter then use one of the string functions to concat or format the string with "outp ".
In fact there is a string function that provides a string output based on a boolean input.

Powershell output converting

I have a task to do, but I'm really newbie at Powershell and I don't really think that I can handle is by myself. Sorry for my english btw :p
The task is:
Letter directions and subdirections and:
-sort it growing by extensions and decreasing by nbame
-display the list with only small letters
-show contens of directions and subdirections
-show elements with attributes : directions, archive, not read only
- ask user the question whether would he like to remove all doc files and does what he says
-clean out powershell screen
-after all shows the list of docs files, saves it in .txt file and opens it in the foreground
I am not really sure if I explained it cleary. I've done in before in cmd, it looked like this:
@echo off
dir %1 /L /O-N /OE /4 /S /AD /AA /A-R /-C
echo "Do you want to remove doc files?"
CHOICE /C:TN /N /T:N,30 /M "Press Y to remove doc files, or press N keep it save."
if errorlevel 1 remove
if errorlevel 2 donotremove
:remove
cd %1
del /p *.doc
:donotremove
cls
dir %1 /B
dir %1 /B > result.txt
start result.txt
I would be grateful for your help.

Sorry but this is not something I asked for :/ As far i got something like this:
function Get-ScriptDirectory
$Invocation = (Get-Variable MyInvocation -Scope 1).Value
Split-Path $Invocation.MyCommand.Path
$path = Get-ScriptDirectory
Get-ChildItem $path -Recurse -Include *doc, *.docx | Sort-Object Name -Descending | Sort Extension
function GetInfo {
Write-Host "Press Y and hit enter to remove .docx files or press N and hit enter to keep it save."
$a = Read-Host
IF ($a -eq "Y")
Remove-Item $path\*.docx
Remove-Item $path\*.doc
Write-Host "Removed"
cls
ELSEIF ($a -eq "N")
Write-Host "Not removed"
cls
ELSE
Write-Host "Wrong button"
GetInfo
GetInfo
Get-Childitem $path | Out-File $path\Result.txt
but I don't really know how to make it show directions, archive files and *.doc at once :/ + how to use lowercase on that list.

Sync boolean data and clock outputs

Hi ppl.
I was hopping someone could help me with a sync problem:
a) I want to output a counter (pulse train) using the USB-6289 board internal counter (clock);
b) I want to output a boolean array (data);
c) The outputs should be in sync, and the 16-bit word should output in full;
I have got the a) and b) parts working, I believe, however the c) part, when I run the vi in continuous mode, the pulse train with the counter works fine, but the boolean
array just assumes the "1" value (I see this in my Logic Analyzer) and maintains this value throughout the whole time...What am I doing wrong in this part?
I have attached my vi and a printscreen of the boolean data and code.
Thanks in advance fot the reply.

Cheers

1. Wire up your error wires.
2. Don't ever use Run Continuous. It is only there for debugging purposes. Put a while loop around your code and use a Stop button to stop the while loop. Any code that should happen only at the beginning such as creating tasks or clocks should occur before the while loop. Code that should occur on at the end such as clearing tasks should occur after the while loop.
3. Perhaps you want to use continuous samples rather than finite?
4. Look through all the DaqMX examples. There might be one that better describes how to link the timing of one task to another. I'm not an expert in DAQ, so I'm not sure if everything is set up properly.

Powershell scripts not writing it to output file

Try
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10340007/exporting-powershell-output-to-text-file
You can always redirect the output an exe to a file like so (even from cmd.exe):
powershell c:\test.ps1 > c:\test.log
Within PowerShell, you can also redirect individual commands to file
but in those cases you probably want to append to the log file rather
than overwrite it e.g.:
$logFile = 'c:\temp\test.log'
"Executing script $($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path)" > $logFile
foreach ($proc in Get-Process) {
$proc.Name >> $logFile
"Another log message here" >> $logFile

Generate output based on the analysis of a input array

Hello!
I would appreciate some help with this:
- I have an input array X. It is a phase array, in other words, it has values from -pi to pi.
- I want to create digital pulses that match with certain values of phases in X. Example: If a value of X, in position "5", is -3*pi/2, i would like to generate , in the output array Y, a value of 1 in its position "5".
My problem here is that i am not being able to detect the position of the array where my condition is met. I tried to use a case structure and a for to do this, without success.
I hope i was clear enough, thank you very much.

Ok, now that i Got the phases, i have to generate the output. Knowing the period of the phases wave and the timing of a certain phase, i want to generate a digital output in a future time that falls in the specified phase. It's a closed-loop of stimulation. What i'm trying to do is this:
- First of all, I get the phases like Altenbach said.
- Then, i do the time calculus to predict time intervals that i would wait to generate my pulse, and that pulse should fall in the specified phase of the input waveform, since its a closed-loop system.
I'm attaching the current vi that i designed, and I appreciate any help.
The real trouble now is generate the output pulse/ boolean in the right time, with a duration of, i dont know, 10ms, just to make it work. something like this: _______| |________
<--10ms-->

HLS IP with multiple outputs

Hello all,
I'm currently working with Vivado HLS (2014.4) and am trying to generate an IP with has an generic amount of OUTputs.
For better explanation I've made an "block-image" (sort of) how it should look like when imported in Vivado (in a Block Design):
So it gets an array of booleans (preferable generic!) and splits it into "sizeof(bool[])" output signals.
What I mean with generic is showed in the following picture:
This is the "utility vector logic"-IP from Vivado. There you can set, if double-clicked, the parameter "CSIZE" which directly sets the size of in- and output arrays to CSIZE.
I'm trying to achieve something similar:
I want to Input an array "in[CSIZE]" and split it into CSIZE output wires!
Best would be if i would be able to set the parameter CSIZE of my synthesized IP in Vivado, the way it's done in the "utility vector logic" - IP through the Properties menu.
1) Is this even possible with High Level Synthesis?
2) If not: Is it possible with a fixed size input array (like in[5]) and then manually set the number of output wires to e.g. 5?
3) If this is too isn't possible: How does is work to output a boolean array ("Res[9:0]") like it's done in the "utility vector logic"-IP?
3.1) Which directives would i have to use to achieve this goal?
Because right now, I don't know how to output a boolean array as signal (it always changes to memory, or if implemented as Pointer it's no output (it's on the left side)
It should look something like this (analog to "utility vector logic"):
where in and out are boolean ports.
Preferable the size of the in- and output array is generic and settable in the Vivado properties menu (like mentioned in the example above)!
4) Could you give me according c++ code snippets to solve my problems and to achieve my goal?
My goal is to connect multiple own IP's (theirs clock) with the multiple output ports of the generated IP above (therefore multiple outputs).
I'm grateful for every answer I get!
Thank You very much!
Best regards,
Tilo

Hi
You can't use VHLS to get an IP with parameters;
To be optimal, a change of parameter would need the generated RTL to change, and at the moment, if you wanted to change your IP then you need to rerun C-synthesis. In other words, VHLS doesn't generate IPs with parameters.
For the other question , check the use or array partition complete;
Be aware that outputs have a valid driven interface by default - that's because the outputs may not be valid at every clock cycle when the IP is running.
An example of what you described might be this clock divider that generates N outputs where gen_clk[i] is input clock divided by (M/rate[i])
const unsigned int n_outputs = 5;
void top(unsigned int M, unsigned int rate[n_outputs], bool gen_clk[n_outputs]) {
#pragma HLS array_partition variable=rate complete dim=0
#pragma HLS array_partition variable=gen_clk complete dim=0
#pragma HLS interface ap_none port=gen_clk
#pragma HLS pipeline
unsigned int i;
static unsigned int counter[n_outputs];
static bool int_clk[n_outputs];
for(i=0;i<n_outputs;i++) {
// pipeline (II=1) at top level makes this loop unrolled
bool clk_enable = counter[i]>M;
int_clk[i] ^= clk_enable;
counter[i] = clk_enable ? counter[i]-M: counter[i]+rate[i];
gen_clk[i] = int_clk[i];
but be aware that the tool tells you clearly:
@W [RTGEN-101] Port 'gen_clk_0' with mode 'ap_none' may require an associated data valid signal to correctly communicate with other blocks or a test bench; automatic C/RTL co-simulation may not be able to verify such a port.
In IPI you may not be able to integrate this as the outputs are not decorated as being of type "clocks".
I hope this helps.

interresting question, because the c-style doesnt know a datatype "boolean".
So i am quite sure there is no support.
You can do a simple workaround by using twice SearchAndReplace to rename True and False
in the same expression
Hope that helps

Generate output values based on contexts

Queue 1 :
contextchange
mat_name1
contextchange
mat_name2
contextchange
mat_name3
contextchange
mat_name4
contextchange
Queue 2: ( output from Boolean AND)
contextchange
true
contextchange
true
true
contextchange
true
true
true
contextchange
false
true
contextchange
Based on the 2 Queues, I shud get the following output :
contextchange
mat_name1
contextchange ( based on 2 true values of the queue 2)
mat_name2
mat_name2
contextchange ( based on 3 true values of Queue 2)
mat_name3
mat_name3
mat_name3
contextchange ( based on 1 true value of Queue 2)
mat_name4 (because false ignore II ocurance)
how do I achieve this?
regards,
nikhil.

Web Services and Powershell error: Method can not be reflected

I'm trying to use the VSM 9.1 Web Service API with Powershell, however when I run the New-WebServiceProxy cmdlet it throws an error, the inner exception being "Method InfraAPI.KnowledgeUpdate can not be reflected.", and as such I'm unable to proceed any further with development.
Here's the Powershell output:
PS C:\PS> new-webserviceproxy -uri http://vsmhost/dev/ServiceManager.svc?wsdl
New-WebServiceProxy : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
At line:1 char:20
+ new-webserviceproxy <<<< -uri http://vsmhost/dev/ServiceManager.svc?wsdl

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewWebServiceProxy
PS C:\PS> $error[0].exception.innerexception
Method InfraAPI.KnowledgeUpdate can not be reflected.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris,
//-- Please read the following as my personal opinion only as it's based only on my own experience using VSM API. I may be wrong of course. --//
As far as I remember there was never a good decision to use VSM API through web service reference.
I had met some problems when referencing VSM services directly through web even using Visual Studio some years ago. Since then I don't use this method.
Recently I have tried to check VSM API services metadata with some soap tools and it appears that it is not completely WS-I compliant - something wrong with namespaces defining ResultSet elements as type of DataSet. Perhaps this is the reason why VSM web services does not work as expected when referencing them directly. Maybe something else...
So the solution, workaround actually, (provided by VMware by the way) is to generate InfraAPI class and use it in your project. So far no problems with this method and we are using VSM API quite a lot.
In any case, it could be really helpful if someone might submit this issue to Alemba to fix it permanently I guess.
Ok, let's go back to your question about using VSM API with PowerShell. I must admit you have really challenged me. It was not so simple but really interesting.
The only way I have made PowerShell working is this:
1. Extract VSM API services class to a file:
svcutil /t:code /language=c# /messageContract http://vsmhost/dev/ServiceManager.svc /out:InfraAPI.9.2.0.cs /config:InfraAPI.9.2.0.config
2. Compile the class to dll file:
csc /t:library /out:InfraAPI.9.2.0.dll InfraAPI.9.2.0.cs
3. Include and use this library in your ps script like this:
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("C:\_DATA\__SM9\PowerShell\API\InfraAPI.9.2.0.dll")
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(“System.ServiceModel”)
$ws_hb = New-Object System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding
$ws_hb.Name = "BasicHttpBinding_IServiceManager"
$ws_epa = New-Object System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress("http://vsmhost/dev/servicemanager.svc")
$ws = New-Object ServiceManagerClient($ws_hb,$ws_epa)
$ws_login_in = New-Object LoginRequest("VSM_USER_NAME","VSM_USER_PASSWORD","VSM_DATABASE")
$ws_login_out = $ws.Login($ws_login_in)
$ws_login_out.sMessage
if($ws_login_out.Ret.value__ -eq 0){
    "Session ID: " + $ws_login_out.sID
    $ws_logout_in = New-Object LogoutRequest($ws_login_out.sID)
    $ws.Logout($ws_logout_in).sMessage
Shoot your questions if you have any. And could you please let me know if this is working in your environment. Tx.
