Input from a text file and then command

[Adamzter81]

Hello,

I am trying to accomplish the following via powershell, any help is appreciated.

1.  Open a dialog box to select a text file (list of computernames)

2.  Import the selected text file into memory

3.  Run commands on the text file list ( list of computernames)

Thanks for your help.

Hello @Adamzter81,

Personally I would choose to open the file by creating a function and passing the path as an argument or having hard coded in the script, but if you want to have an Open File Dialog to select a file, you can use something like the next code, which is asking you to select a txt file then you can use the property FileName to obtain the path that you want to import in $Computers variable:

$OpenFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
$OpenFileDialog.filter = "TXT (*.txt) | *.txt"
$OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog() | Out-Null

$Computers = Get-Content $OpenFileDialog.FileName

Once you have all the computers imported in the variable you can play around with them by using foreach looping.

Best regards,
