Below is the HTML DOM, I want to store DatePlannedStartTimeStamp value "01/24/2017 18:00" in a variable, print and call later
<TD class=dbData><SPAN onmouseover="ShowDay(this.innerHTML, 231320)"
onmouseout=nd() id=DatePlannedStartTimeStamp>01/24/2017 18:00</SPAN></TD>
I tried below but it does not return any value
$HTML = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $URL -UseDefaultCredential
$WebPageText = ($HTML.ParsedHtml.getElementsByTagName("a") | Where-
Object{$_.ID -match "DatePlannedStartTimeStamp"}).innerText
echo $WebPageText
Not sure if my tagname is correct. I'm still learning powershell script, it would be great help if there is a way to it.

I am trying to pass a MAC Address and code (1,2,3,4) to Invoke-WebRequest.
Manually the command is working fine, but I am not able to do it via command.
The manual command that works is:
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://mywebsite.org/pcconfig/setstate.php?mac=F832E3A2503B"&"state=4
Now when I break this up into variable to use with the mac from the machine I do the following.
$LiveMAC = Get-NetAdapter -Physical |
where Status -eq "Up" |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty PermanentAddress
$Str1 = "https://mywebsite.org/pcconfig/setstate.php?mac=$LiveMAC"
$Str2 = $Str1 + '"&"' + 'state=4'
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $Str2
When I run the above code I do not see errors in red, it seems to process but does not work.
Looking at $Str2 I see the below output, which seems correct, but when passing it as above it fails to work.
https://mywebsite.org/pcconfig/setstate.php?mac=F832E3A2503B"&"state=4
The double quotes in a statement like
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://example.org/some/sit.php?foo=x"&"bar=y
mask the ampersand for PowerShell, because otherwise otherwise PowerShell would throw an error that a bare & is reserved for future use. A more canonical way of avoiding this is to put the entire URI in quotes:
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://example.org/some/sit.php?foo=x&bar=y"
Either way the actual URI that is passed to Invoke-WebRequest is
https://example.org/some/sit.php?foo=x&bar=y
without the quotes.
However, in a code snippet like this:
$Str1 = "https://example.org/some/site.php?foo=$foo"
$Str2 = $Str1 + '"&"' + 'state=4'
you're including literal double quotes as part of the URI, so the actual URI passed to the cmdlet would be
https://example.org/some/sit.php?foo=x"&"bar=y
which is invalid.
With that said, you don't need string concatenation for building your URI anyway. Simply put your variable in the double-quoted string:
$uri = "https://example.org/some/sit.php?foo=${foo}&bar=y"
If you need to insert the value of an object property or array element use either a subexpression
$uri = "https://example.org/some/sit.php?foo=$($foo[2])&bar=y"
or the format operator
$uri = 'https://example.org/some/sit.php?foo={0}&bar=y' -f $foo[2]
I'm trying to build a script that will grab some text from a website and place it into an excel sheet, but I'm having trouble with using a variable in the URL, when using a variable my output is http://#{variable=xyz}.com, I'm trying to get the xyz only,
any help would be greatly appreciated
my code:
$ip = get-content c:\..
foreach ($ip in $ipadd){
$url = http://$ip/mywebsite.com
$html = invoke-webrequest -uri $url
$elements = $html.Allelements | where class -eq "class" | select -expandproperty innertext
}
I ended up using plain text and it worked just fine.
but id appreciate if anyone could tell me why I'm getting this http://#{variable=xyz}.com output from a csv file
I encountered a problem today while trying to get a value from a website using PowerShell.
This is the website.
I am trying to get the number "90" here, that in the webpage itself is the value of "Downloaded" (this number might be a little bigger when you look at it if there are more downloads):Screenshot of the element i am trying to return
<span title="Downloads" class="mod-card-info-tag" data-reactid=".0.0.0.2.0.0.2.2">
<div class="mod-card-info-tag-label" data-reactid=".0.0.0.2.0.0.2.2.0">90</div>
This is the PowerShell code i used to try and get the number "90" from the element above (i know i should use ".innertext" in the end, i just used the get-member to see if any object was found):
$URI = "https://mods.factorio.com/mods/TpTheGreat/TpTheGreats%20Large%20Roboport%20Logistics%20Area"
$HTML = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $URI
($HTML.ParsedHtml.getElementsByTagName("div") | Where{ $_.className -eq ‘mod-card-info-tag-label’ }) | Get-Member
When calling for the element by tag name like in my code above, I get an empty object.
I tried lots of things without any success.
It'll be really great if any of you could take a look and check if you are able to solve my problem.
Thanks a lot!!!
How about another approach:
$URI = "https://mods.factorio.com/mods/TpTheGreat/TpTheGreats%20Large%20Roboport%20Logistics%20Area"
$HTML = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $URI
$arr = $HTML.AllElements.Item(9).innerHTML -split ' = '
$myObj = $arr[1].replace("`n"," ")
$myObj = $myObj.replace(";","") | ConvertFrom-Json
$myObj.mod.mod.downloads_count
I've encountered a situation that I cannot seem to find a solution to. I am scraping a website using Invoke-WebRequest and when I look at my output from my array, several of the properties are System.Objects. I need to find a way to have them be strings so that when I Export-Csv I can actually see the values. Here is my code:
$params = #{api_id='';api_key='';page_size='100';site_id=''}
$stats = Invoke-WebRequest https://my.incapsula.com/api/visits/v1 -Method Post -Body $params
$s = $stats
$s = $s | ConvertFrom-Json
$s = $s.visits
Here are what my results look like:
My solution was to create a new custom object and use the following syntax on the properties that were an object themselves:
($_ | select -expandproperty 'propertyname')
I'm trying to experiment with Azure Functions. Basically my use case is calling the function with a GUID as GET Parameter, having the function download the WIX toolkit DLL and an MSI file, updating a parameter in the MSI file, and the returning that file to the caller of the function (as download prompt for example).
I'm mostly there, just need some help getting the download prompt/send to happen, my code so far:
$urlWix = "http://domain/wix.dll"
$outputWix = "$Env:TEMP\wix.dll"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $urlWix -OutFile $outputWix
try{Add-Type -Path $outputWix}catch{$Null}
$urlMSI = "http://domain/file.msi"
$outputFile = "$Env:TEMP\file.msi"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $urlMSI -OutFile $outputFile
$oDatabase = New-Object Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Database($outputFile,[Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.DatabaseOpenMode]::Direct);
$sSQLQuery = "SELECT * FROM Property WHERE Property= 'MYPROPERTY'"
[Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.View]$oView = $oDatabase.OpenView($sSQLQuery)
$oView.Execute()
$oRecord = $oView.Fetch()
$oRecord.SetString("Value","MyCustomValue")
$oView.Modify([Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.ViewModifyMode]::Update,$oRecord)
$oView.Close();
$oDatabase.Dispose();
$file = get-item $outputFile
write-output $file
Unfortunately due to content type issues this is not possible in powershell. You can do this via a C#, F#, or Node (isRaw) function. The problem is that you need to specify headers via the JSON response format, which would convert any non-text data into a base64 string.
If you want to sent a text file via powershell it is possible:
$response = ConvertTo-JSON #{
Body="your file data";
Headers=#{
# unfortunately it seems functions does not support 'filename=...'
'Content-Disposition'='attachment';
# you would use application/octet-stream, but because it's converted to JSON you lose binary content
'Content-Type'='text/plain';
};
}
Out-File -Encoding Ascii -FilePath $res -inputObject $response
