I have a text file which contains some data which I need to put into a variable in powershell
i just want to create two variables, which are pulled from the text file, _admin_0_name and _admin_0_pass
$username
$password
file.profile
Code: Select all
_admin_0_name=Administrator
_admin_0_pass=
userpass.ps1
Code: Select all
$invocation = (Get-Variable MyInvocation).Value
$directorypath = Split-Path $invocation.MyCommand.Path
$settingspath = $directorypath + '\*.profile'
# retrieve variables from a file
$profile = get-content $settingspath
$username = $profile | select-string '_admin_0_name' | %{$_.line.split('=')}
$password = $profile | select-string '_admin_0_pass' | %{$_.line.split('=')}
echo $username
echo $password
if($password) {
Write-Host "string is not empty"
} else {
Write-Host "String is EMPTY or NULL"
}
If it possible to simply get these values without creating an array, and check for blank value of password?
Thanks

How about this
Code: Select all
$file = get-content DATAFILE.txt
$file | foreach {
$items = $_.split("=")
if ($items[0] -eq "_admin_0_name"){$username = $items[1]}
if ($items[0] -eq "_admin_0_pass"){$password = $items[1]}
}
Echo $username $password
If ($password -eq "") {Echo 'password missing!'}

Hello Simon.
Thanks for your reply. That worked for me. I'm having trouble with the basics of powershell scripting, but this worked for a Windows 8.1 project I am working on, as autoit and psexec was not able to runas another user.
