Systen Automation

[stanl]

Not sure why this worked; was just playing around


:

Code (WINBATCH) Select Expand

ObjectClrOption ( 'useany', 'System.Management.Automation')
oM = ObjectClrNew('System.Management.Automation.PSObject')
Message("System.Management.Automation.PSObject")




but it raises intersting possibiities...

[td]

I get a 3074 error - "Expression continues past expected end."

[JTaylor]

Me too.   Message only has one parameter.

Message("System.Management.Automation.PSObject",OM)

was having a bit of an issue just posting this... like a font fantasy...

[JTaylor]

Thought that is probably what you meant and had tried it.  I do get an integer....which I assume is the reference for the object.

It is indeed an object reference integer. Since WIL is negatively typed, objects can be represented as a string of digits for display purposes.

Probably just another rabbit hole... and have regularly used System.Management.Automation to run Powershell script code from WB's CLR. I guess just looking if in WB you could assign a file, a process, or something else to a PSObject and work with it without need for external PS code...  [json attached, just rename from .txt to .json]

Code (WINBATCH) Select Expand



json = Dirscript():"assets.json"
If ! FileExist(json) Then Terminate(@TRUE,"File Does Not Exist",json)
ObjectClrOption ( 'useany', 'System.Management.Automation')
oM = ObjectClrNew('System.Management.Automation.PSObject',json)
Message("System.Management.Automation.PSObject",OM)
Members = oM.Members
Props =  oM.Properties
Methods =  oM.Methods
Base =  oM.BaseObject
Message("BaseObject",Base)
Message("Members",Members.ToString())
Message("Properties",Props.ToString())
Message("Methods",Methods.ToString())
oM=0
Exit

WinBatch doesn't implement any "special" features for any .Net class so what you see is what you get.
