Powershell Script : Stopwatch

Hi,

Few days back I upload a script on “Powershell Digital Clock”, when i was writing that script at that time another script idea strike in to my mind, that ideas was to create a Stopwatch using Powershell.

I don’t know writing a script for stopwatch is a good idea or not, but i know one thing that i will learn a new thing and that may be helpful in the future.

After thinking i started writing an GUI based script to creating a stopwatch.

Powershell has open lots of possibilities for system administrators like me. We just need to imagine what we want and we able to achieve it easily using Powershell.

Last week when i take a session in Delhi User Group meeting, i told attendees that Powershell is the most easiest scripting language to be learn.

Anyway.

In this “Stopwatch” i used 4 buttons, one to start the clock, One to stop the clock , one to reset the stopwatch and another is for the lap.

I am not so good in designing GUI so ignore the colour of the buttons ;o).

In this script i learn few new things.

Lesson Learned:

• System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch class
• Few methods of System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch class
• Make multiline textbox in powershell to auto scroll using

  • $textBox1.SelectionStart = $textBox1.Text.Length;
    $textBox1.ScrollToCaret()

•

Samay : Powershell script based digital clock.

Hi,

Few days back i was writing an powershell GUI based script, in that script I need to add a clock.

First i thought how can i make a clock? I was thinking about an hour and then i got an idea. why not to use timer object and use it for creating an clock.

This is what i have done to create a GUI clock.

1. Created a blank form on “Powershell Studio”
2. Add a blank label to it
   1. 
3. Added a time object to it.
   1. 
4. In timer object property , i set Enabled to true, and interval to 1 {which is very low because the it is in milliseconds}
5. Double click on “Timer” object and i added the below code.
6. 
7. In above code , i am just converting, Get-Date to string.
8. and when you run scrip the outcome is running Powershell Digital clock.

using Get-Location cmdlet in PowerShell.

Hi everyone.

Sometime, while using our regular or favourite cmdlets, we often forget to use non-regular, non-common cmdlets. When you look in to all cmdlets which powershell offers, you can see there may be few cmdlets which you never used and never notice them.

One of the cmdlet which i came to know is “Get-Location” whose alias is “pwd” (present working directory)

As its name defines , when you run it, it shows your location (not GPS one :D ), it shows you that  in which folder you currently working in.

this cmdlet is very useful when you want to record you current folder location in to the powershell scripts.

This cmdlet has three main properties.

1. Path
2. Drive
3. Provider

To check these properties we can put Get-Location in to a variable.

$location = Get-Location

to know the path of the current location we can type $location.Path property.

To know the name and other information, we can use $location.Drive property.

to know the PS Provider type, we can use $location.Provide property.

That’s all for now. :)

Thanks
