PowerShell + AutoIT + Clip

[jefhal]

Since "Clip" is included in Windows Server 2003 and Vista, and runs fine on WinXP (and Win2K?), it makes it easy to get output from PowerShell to AutoIt:

ClipPut("")
RunWait("PowerShell.exe -command $(get-process | where {$_.processname -match '(svc.*)'} | where {$_.ws -gt 3000})[-1..-3] | ft -hide | clip",@TempDir,@SW_HIDE)
$PowerShell = ClipGet()
MsgBox(1,"$powershell",$PowerShell)

This example is not necessarily a practical one, but rather a way of demonstrating a number of useful facets of PowerShell technology. These include: regular expression matching, formatting, filtering, sub-expressions and array slicing...

Thanks Ptrex. As long as people can find it, it will be there waiting... Took me a while to dope it out so I hope it's of use to many others.

Here's another one:

$strComputer = "anycomputer"
ClipPut("")
    RunWait("powershell.exe -command $(get-wmiobject -computer '" & $strComputer & "' -class win32_logicaldisk | where-object {$_.drivetype -match 3}) | clip", @TempDir,@SW_HIDE)
$answer = ClipGet()
MsgBox(1,"$answer",$answer)
