powershell-2.0

All of a sudden, I am getting this error when upgrading Nuget packages. None of the fixes that I have come across work. I am using Visual Studio 2013. 'Newtonsoft.Json 6.0.3' already installed. Adding 'Newtonsoft.Json 6.0.3' to Tournaments.Notifications. Successfully added 'Newtonsoft.Json 6.0.3' to Tournaments.Notifications. Executing script file 'F:\My Webs\BasketballTournaments\MainBranch\packages\Newtonsoft.Json.6.0.3\tools\install.ps1'. Failed to initialize the PowerShell host. If your PowerShell execution policy setting is set to AllSigned, open the Package Manager Console to initialize

I'm using PowerShell 2.0 and I want to pipe out all the subdirectories of a certain path. The following command outputs all files and directories, but I can't figure out how to filter out the files. Get-ChildItem c:\mypath -Recurse I've tried using $_.Attributes to get the attributes but then I don't know how to construct a literal instance of System.IO.FileAttributes to compare it to. In cmd.exe it would be dir /b /ad /s For PowerShell versions less than 3.0: The FileInfo object returned by Get-ChildItem has a "base" property, PSIsContainer . You want to select only those items. Get-ChildItem

I want to decode the password from a System.Security.SecureString to a readable password. $password = convertto-securestring "TestPassword" -asplaintext -force $credentials = New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential("TestUsername", $password, "TestDomain") This code part works fine, I can use the $credentials object. But later in my code I need the password in a readable format. Because a methode needs the password in readable string. So I must decode the password back. How it is possible to decode the password from the $credentials object? Update Not working: $password = convertto-securestring

What is the required syntax to redirect standard input/output on Windows PowerShell? On Unix, we use: $./program <input.txt >output.txt How do I execute the same task in PowerShell? You can't hook a file directly to stdin, but you can still access stdin. Get-Content input.txt | ./program > output.txt For output redirection you can use: command > filename Redirect command output to a file (overwrite) command >> filename APPEND into a file command 2> filename Redirect Errors Input redirection works in a different way. For example see this Cmdlet http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library

I need to collect the standard output and error log from several processes into one single log file. So every output must append to this log file. I want to call all the jobs with lines like this: $p=start-process myjob.bat -redirectstandardoutput $logfile -redirecterroroutput $logfile -wait Where do I have to put the information to append? Andy Arismendi In order to append to a file you'll need to use a slightly different approach. You can still redirect an individual process' standard error and standard output to a file, but in order to append it to a file you'll need to do one of these
