PowerShell Application : Numerology Application created using PowerShell

 

 

Don’t call me insane, and please don’t use the words “WTF!”, “Shit” etc. I knew, PowerShell and numerology sound very insane.

I know, I know, PowerShell is for IT guys, Admins , developers, but, it is scripting language, we can use is to easy and other life.

Background

 

One of my friend is a numerologist, he was facing some problem and asked me if I am able to help him. The issue which he was facing was to convert the name of his clients to numbers, he has to do the manually . That’s what he use to do.

For example you name is Aman and you want to know about your ruling number and planet

Alphabet	Position of Alphabet in English Letter
A	1
M	4
A	1
N	5

 

So the Number for Aman is = 1+4+1+5 = 11 as we have only 9 planets, we have to add 11 to 1+1 again and we got the ruling number 2.

Now if you name is more complex than mine, he is going to spent a decent amount of time to add it.

Solution

 

I have created a simple PowerShell GUI for him, so that he just need to type the name of the user it to it and click on calculate button, and he got the ruling number of the user along with him ruling planet.

 

How to use it

Download the zip file from this link : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17858935/Numerology.zip

This zip file contain, Images those are used in the GUI, a PowerShell source file and an executable file.

To open the numerology PowerShell application.

Double click on “Numerology.exe”

 

Type you name and click on calculate. That’s all.

 

 

I learned

Open the PowerShell file,  and you can see a good example of using arrays and the if logic.

 

Special thanks

To all “PowerShell MVPs” who helped me when I stuck at a small script logic.

 

I hope you will enjoy this.

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()

•  

  

“Screenshot of the script”

Please run this script in –Sta mode

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.
