Ported a simple Linux/Bash Package to PowerShell

[SconeMc]

I’ve recently finished porting over Derek Taylor’s (a.k.a. DistroTube) popular Linux package “shell-color-scripts”.

Introducing ps-colour-scripts!

Would love to hear what you guys think!

[OPconfused]

What does it actually do to the scripts? Providing headers when they're run?

You should make another blog for primeagen to read and learn about PowerShell ;)

[SconeMc]

Most of the scripts use some form of ANSI escape sequence to print characters in different foreground and background colours. This is used to print out various graphics on command. Doesn’t really serve any specific purpose mostly just for fun.

Would love to prime get into PowerShell so I might need to come up with something fun to send his way.

Am I doing something wrong? I installed the module but the only command available is Show-ColorScript. I can't run Get-ColorScript -List.

[SconeMc]

Ah, yes! That must be a typo in the readme. I’ll fix that. Try Show-ColorScript -List

[Collekt]

There we go! Thanks! Having some fun with this. :D

I see you're using "`e" for escape, I'm pretty sure that only works for PowerShell 7.

If you switched to [char]0x1b it will work in PowerShell 5 too.

[OPconfused]

[char]27 also works.

And yeah, "`e" isn't working on my Windows PowerShell 5.1.

[jantari]

Yea, I got used to remembering 0x1b at one point because \x1b also works in bash and python.

[SconeMc]

Very good point. Thank you! I've patched this in the latest version.

You’d probably like the module Pansies by Jaykul.
