Listing all files (recursively) in PowerShell
$files = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path "C:\path\to\root\folder" foreach($file in $files) { if(!$file.PSIsContainer) { Write-Host $file.FullName } }
$files = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path "C:\path\to\root\folder" foreach($file in $files) { if(!$file.PSIsContainer) { Write-Host $file.FullName } }
This function runs an SQL query and displays results in a new Excel sheet:
function SQLtoXLS { param([String]$sql, [String]$server, [String]$db) $tbl = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $server -Database $db -Query $sql $xl = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application $xl.Visible = $False $xl.DisplayAlerts = $False $wb = $xl.WorkBooks.Add() $ws = $wb.Worksheets.Item(1) $ws.Name = "SELECT results" $r = 0 if($tbl.Count -gt 0) { $rowCount = $tbl.Count $colCount = $tbl[0].ItemArray.Count $grid = New-Object 'string[,]' ($rowCount + 1), $colCount $c = 0 foreach($col in $tbl[0].Table.Columns) { $grid[$r, $c] = $col.ColumnName $c++ } $r++ foreach($row in $tbl) { $c = 0 foreach($i in $row.ItemArray) { $grid[$r, $c] = [String]$i $c++ } $r++ } $ws.Range($ws.Cells.Item(1,1), $ws.Cells.Item($rowCount + 1, $colCount)).Value = $grid $ws.Range($ws.Cells.Item(1,1), $ws.Cells.Item(1, $colCount)).Font.FontStyle = "Bold" } else { $ws.Cells.Item(1, 1).Value2 = "No results" } $ws.Columns.AutoFit() | Out-Null $ws.Rows.AutoFit() | Out-Null $xl.Visible = $True }
Usage example:
SQLtoXLS -sql "SELECT * FROM sql_table" -server "localhost" -db "my_db"
$u = Get-ADUser -Identity 'username' -Server 'server.lv' -Properties extensionAttribute1,extensionAttribute2 $u.extensionAttribute1 $u.extensionAttribute2
$sql = "SELECT * FROM SQL_TABLE" $tbl = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance "localhost" -Database "my_db" -Query $sql Write-Host $tbl.Count
$xlsFilePath = "C:\Excel_file.xlsx" $xl = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application $xl.Visible = $False $xl.DisplayAlerts = $False $wb = $xl.WorkBooks.Open($xlsFilePath) $ws = $wb.Worksheets.Item(1) $value = $ws.Cells.Item(1, "A").Value2 Write-Host $value # ... $wb.Close($false) $xl.Quit() [System.GC]::Collect() [System.GC]::WaitForPendingFinalizers() [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($xl) | Out-Null
