如何使用Powershell从文本文件中提取字符串并将其复制到Excel工作表

Question

I have plenty of text files containing data like this:

refresh: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText(GlobalizationKey.Refresh) %>',
close: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText(GlobalizationKey.Close) %>',
all: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText(GlobalizationKey.All) %>',
entries: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("DepMethodEdit_Entries") %>',
archive: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("worklist_Archive") %>',
onequarter: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("worklist_onequarter") %>',
halfyear: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("worklist_halfyear") %>',
oneyear: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("worklist_oneyear") %>',
twoyears: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("worklist_twoyears") %>',
customize: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("CBW_EditDashlet") %>',
notSentLabel: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("status-notsend") %>',
sentLabel: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("status-sent") %>',
errorSendingLabel: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("status-error") %>',
openLabel: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText(GlobalizationKey.Open) %>',
rejectedLabel: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("DocumentStatus_Rejected") %>',
normalLabel: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("Normal") %>',
creditLabel: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText(GlobalizationKey.Credit) %>',
deleteinvoice: '<%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("ProcessedInvoicingDelete") %>'

Is it possible to extract this string <%= GlobalizationUtil.GetText("ProcessedInvoicingDelete") %> and copy it to an excel sheet using Powershell?

Answer 1

Yes. High level:

• Get contents of the text file
• use Select-String or [regex]::Matches for each element(row)
• Export to CSV (if you don't want headers, use Set-Content otherwise use Export-CSV )
• Create an Excel ComObject
• Open a workbook, and a worksheet
• use SaveAs method
• quit Excel ComObject
