powershell-1.0

Here's my configuration: On the build log, I only see the output of the first two lines, and then "Process exited with code 0" as the last output of this build step. I tried opening a terminal in the build server in the SYSTEM account (using PsTools ), since Team City is configured to run under said account. Then, I created a Test.ps1 file with the same content and ran a command just like Team City's: [Step 1/4] Starting: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NonInteractive -Command - <C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\temp\buildTmp

How can I count the number of rows in a csv file using powershell? I tried something like Get-Content -length "C:\Directory\file.csv" or (Get-Content).length "C:\Directory\file.csv" but these result an error. Shay Levy Pipe it to the Measure-Object cmdlet Import-Csv C:\Directory\file.csv | Measure-Object Ten98 Get-Content and Measure-Object are fine for small files, but both are super inefficient with memory.

You can use Set-ItemProperty : Set-ItemProperty file.txt -name IsReadOnly -value $false or shorter: sp file.txt IsReadOnly $false MagicAndi $file = Get-Item "C:\Temp\Test.txt" if ($file.attributes -band [system.IO.FileAttributes]::ReadOnly) { $file.attributes = $file.attributes -bxor [system.IO.FileAttributes]::ReadOnly } The above code snippet is taken from this article UPDATE Using Keith Hill's implementation from the comments (I have tested this, and it does work), this becomes: $file = Get-Item "C:

I'm running a Powershell test script from a C# application. The script can fail due to a bad cmdlet which causes pipe.Invoke() to throw an exception. I'm able to capture all the information I need about the exception, but I'd like to be able to display the script's output up to that point. I haven't had any luck since results appears to be null when an exception is thrown. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks! m_Runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(); m_Runspace.Open(); Pipeline pipe = m_Runspace.CreatePipeline(); pipe.Commands.AddScript(File.ReadAllText(ScriptFile)); pipe.Commands.Add(

I have been pushing into the .NET framework in PowerShell, and I have hit something that I don't understand.

I have ps1 script to grab some information from the vmware cluster environment. In some place of ps1 script requires the ENTER button keystroke. So, How to do that ? -Thanks Adi Inbar If I understand correctly, you want PowerShell to send the ENTER keystroke to some interactive application? $wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell; $wshell.AppActivate('title of the application window') Sleep 1 $wshell.SendKeys('~') If that interactive application is a PowerShell script, just use whatever is in the title bar of the PowerShell window as the argument to AppActivate (by default, the path to
