Read a string using Powershell...Or maybe reverse it then read it

Read a string using PowerShell...Or maybe reverse it then read it 


-          I was roaming around the internet once, and I saw this page somehow : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms723602%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

-          This page contains something called “SPVoice Interface”, this is a COM object which brings the capabilities of TTS (Text-To-Speech) engine to our applications or scripts.

-          I was just playing around with this, just reading a normal text in English, the code looked something like this :






-          This was a normal thing to do, just reading a text, of course, there are many thing you could do with this COM object, such as changing voice from male to female and other stuff, you can refer the link mentioned above .

-          Now this is where things got strange, I wanted to reverse the text then read it and see how it sounds…, the code looked something like this :


-          Try it out and see how it sounds when you read it in reverse…






-          Just for the paranoid folks, this has nothing to do with backmasking or sending some messages or any devil related stuff… Ok


-          Gotta go now, Happy scripting everyone, Hasta Luego todos…..

    You can also easily reverse the string like this:

    -join $str[-1..-($str.length)]

Parsing PDF to text using PowerShell There are times when you come and you find some Important PDF file (Something like a low level design or something similar), The point is I really hate PDF files... I was googling a way which i can use to read PDF files using PowerShell, this can be helpful of you have a lots of PDF files and you want to filter these PDF's based on certain word or a string (Using a regex or something similar to do that). I know i was talking too much so let cut to the chase : I found this amazing .NET library which you can use to parse a PDF file(Convert it into a text). The library is called "ITextSharp", here you can fidn some information about it : http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/?source=typ_redirect I assume that you already know what the hell I am talking about so, This is the code which i got from from Stack Overflow : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15684699/how-to-parse-pdf-content-to-database-with-pow

IP Calculator in PowerShell...with IP exclusion

Hola todos... que pasa? It has been a while since i post i was really busy with so many stuff, bottom line, i had this strange requirement at work where i had to create a script to calculate the IP address from a subnet, now normally this means we have to create a bunch of scopes or subnets in the DHCP server, which was my case, i had to create more than 4 thousand scopes on Linux DHCP server. now I was thinking how in the hell I am going to insert all these scopes in the configuration file, of course the first things I came up with was to provide the mandatory information (First IP, last IP, broadcast IP and number of hosts) which was not a big problem, I found this link : https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/ipcalc-PowerShell-Script-01b7bd23 This guy did a very good job and save my ass, but this was not the issue, in my situation, I had to exclude the first 48 IP addresses from each scope. Now in Linux DHCP configuration file, each scope was represent

Using  Selenium WebDriver with PowerShell Hola todos... que pasa? This time I am going to show an example on how to use Selenium WebDriver with PowerShell to open the browser and do stuff like checking a checkbox or maybe writing some text in a text box. This one took me sometime to deal with it, it was not a straightforward thing, I spent so much time in front of my laptop, I lost the feeling on my ass for some time after finishing the code, anyway, To find more information about Selenium and how it works, you can dig this link :   http://www.seleniumhq.org/ this WebDriver was built for C#, and of course it can be used and called withing PowerShell or Vb.net easily... Anyway, let’s talk about the code : #Code Start Here : # moving to the folder where Selenium DLL files are… # You can also use Add-Type Cmdlet with -path option, it will do the same. cd "d:\NonOfficialPSModules\selenium-dotnet-2.46.0\net40" [System.Reflection.Assemb
