Lest say I have three classes names Dog, Cat and Tree in matching files Dog_file.psm1,Cat_file.psm1 and Tree_file.psm1. I need to create one Powershell module with these three files. while I'm reading trough https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd878337(v=vs.85).aspx I feel it can be achieve.
By reading various post and articles I think NestedModules property in the .psd1 is the way. But not sure exactly how would be the folder structure that files need to place and syntax of the .psd1 file. So far couldn't find any sample
Someone done this before? I'm using Powershell 5

I got a list on excel with picture names I have to find, is it in anyway possible to add the list to powershell and find the pictures and copy them out into one folder?
The list is (about 1000)1310 pictures and there is a total of 44k pictures in aprox a ton of folders. I think maybe it was 500k folders.
Picture of how the image software have made the folder structure
Exact number of files and folders, the last 14k pictures are in another main folder and not relevant for the list
Your question is very broad, and I can only give a very general answer. This is clearly scriptable, but it might take a lot of learning and a lot of effort.
First, you might want to consider what the relationship is between the way pictures are named inthe excel sheet and the way the picture files are named in the folders.
If they follow the same naming rules, that gets one big problem out of the way.
Next, you need to learn how to copy and excel table onto a Csv file.
Then you need to learn how to use Import-csv and feed the stream into a pipeline.
Then you need to process the output of the pipeline to a foreach loop that contains a copy-item cmdlet.
If there is a single master folder that contains all the other folders that contain pictures, then you are in luck. Learn the -path, -recurse, and -include parameters.
Perhaps someone who has already dealt with the same problem can provide you with code. But it may not do what you really want.
I am wondering if it is possible to accomplish the following, given some context and example.
I have files in "Server\Share\Folder\File##.ext"
Sometimes the "File##.ext" can be "File01.ext" through "File20.ext", and other times it may be "File01.ext" through "File40.ext"
Sometimes there are less of these files, sometimes there are more.
I want a batch file to take the files from "Server\Share\Folder\File##.ext" and move them to "Server\Share\OtherFolder\File##.ext". I know I can accomplish this easily with:
copy /y "Server\Share\Folder\File01.ext" "Server\Share\OtherFolder\File01.ext"
Then just add another line for each extra "File02.ext, File03.ext, etc., but I am wondering if it is possible to make it so that any file that resembles "File##.ext" can be included, so that no matter how many ## I have, it always works without issue.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
EDIT
Someone mentioned using Wildcards, but my question with that is - lets say those files are File01.ext through File05.ext, will it match what it finds to the newly moved file? Like will it find File01 from File?? on the source and Make it File01 from File?? at the destination?
You can accomplish this task with a FORloop program in batch-file.
You can also loop through the Commands using : and variable name.
Combining these two would help you get what you want.
We can help you with Ideas and little bit of the coding. But the Efforts must be done by you. So U can learn programming better
I'm hoping somebody out there can help me with this. I'm attempting to extract some barcode data from some .dat files. Its a B Tree file system with groups of three files .dat .ix. .dia. The company that wrote the software (a long time ago) say that the program is written in Pascal. I have no experience in reverse engineering but from what I read its most likely the only way to extract the data as the structure of the database is contained in the code of the program. I'm looking for advice on where to start.
I suppose the first thing you need to do is to see if the exe you've got was written with Delphi. You can check with this: http://cc.embarcadero.com/Item/15250
Then, to see if the exe that creates those .dat files were made with 'TurboPower B-Tree Filer', the I'd suggest you download and take a look at this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpbtreefiler/
At this step, looking at these sources is needed to familiarize yourself with the class names used in 'TurboPower B-Tree Filer' to help determine if any of those classes were used in your exe.
Then, using 'XN Resource Editor' [search the Internet for this] or, probhably better, 'MiTeC Portable Executable Reader' [ http://www.mitec.cz/pe.html ], see if any class names are relevant.
If they are, then you're in luck --sort of. All you will need to do is to write an app using 'TurboPower B-Tree Filer' to import the data in your dat files to export or manipulate as you wish.
At that point, you might find this link useful.
TurboPower B-Tree Filer and Delphi XE2 - Anyone done it?
If, OTOH, none of the above applies; I fear the only option is to reverse engineer the exe you have.
Commonly I have written programs that have multiple classes in one .rb file. Similarly I have updated programs that use multiple classes, however, each class is in its own .rb file. I can assume that having them in different files would make it easier for a team to all work together or to split work up. But in almost every project I have been assigned I have put all the classes in one file. What is the major advantage or disadvantage of using one file vs multiple and which is better 'ruby' etiquette?
Well, you've already got one great reason: "...having them in different files would make it easier for a team to all work together or to split work up."
Another reason is organization. Suppose I want to know where the User class is defined. If there are a bunch of files and one is named user.rb, that's a pretty good clue. If there are a bunch of files and none of them is named user.rb I have to start hunting through files, or use a file search utility, and my time is wasted.
Furthermore, if I'm reading a file and it says require "user" at the top, I know automatically that this file probably needs something called User. If it says require "script" at the top, I have no idea what it's loading, or what's in there that this file needs, so I have to go digging around, and my time is wasted.
A third reason is encapsulation. Keeping code in memory has real performance implications. If there are a dozen different classes in script.rb and I do require "script", then I'm loading all of those classes, even if I only want User. Not to mention your tests—and thereby your entire workflow—run a lot faster if they only have to load the things they actually need.
I have a website that runs off an OpenWRT router. I'd like to optimize the site by removing an files that aren't being used. Here is my directory structure...
/www/images
/www/js
/www/styles
/www/otherSubDirectories <--- not really named that
I'm mostly concerned about identifying images that are not used because those take the most space. But it would also be nice to identify style sheets and javascript files that are not being used. So, is there a way I can search /www and all sub directories and files and print a list of files in /www/images, /www/js, and /www/styles that are not referenced by any other files?
When I'm looking for files that contain a specific string I use this:
find . | xargs grep -Hn 'myImage.jpg'
That would tell me all files that reference the image. Maybe some variation of that?
Any help would be appreciated!

Swiss File Knife is very nice tool.
Find out which files are used (referenced) by other files through fuzzy content analysis
Consider using a cross-reference program (for example, lxr) for this problem. (I haven't verified if lxr can do the job, but believe it can.) If an off-the-shelf cross-reference program doesn't work, look for an open source cross-reference program in a language you know, and adapt it.
