[Powershell] ACSII To Value & Value To String Conversions

ArkPhaze · 11-25-2011, 12:49 AM

I wrote 2 different scripts in powershell to convert a string value over to Octal, Hex, and Decimal values, and vice versa.

Any help or explanation of these scripts just ask me.

ACSII_ToValue.ps1:

Code:
#Convert String Input to ACSII Value
write-host "-----------------------------" -foregroundcolor "magenta"
write-host " Multi ACSII Value Calculator " -foregroundcolor "magenta"
write-host "-----------------------------" -foregroundcolor "magenta"
write-host; write-host

function StrACSII_ {
	$var = read-host "Enter an Octal Value or Input (Example - Powershell String)"
	$dec_out = [string][int[]][char[]]"$var"
	
	$data = $dec_out.split(" ")
	foreach ($obj in $data) {
		$ErrorActionPreference = "silentlycontinue"
		$hex_out += [Convert]::ToString($obj, 16); $hex_out += " "
		$oct_out += [Convert]::ToString($obj, 8); $oct_out += " "
	}

	write-host
	write-host "[Input Value: $var]"
	write-host
	write-host "Decimal Value: " -foregroundcolor "magenta" -nonewline; write-host $dec_out -foregroundcolor "cyan"
	write-host "Octal Value: " -foregroundcolor "magenta" -nonewline; write-host $oct_out -foregroundcolor "cyan"
	write-host "Hex Value: " -foregroundcolor "magenta" -nonewline; write-host $hex_out -foregroundcolor "cyan"
	write-host "HTML Value: " -foregroundcolor "magenta" -nonewline; write-host "(Note: Same as Hex output)" -foregroundcolor "cyan"
	write-host
	
	clear-variable -name dec_out, oct_out, hex_out
	StrACSII_
}

StrACSII_

ACSII_ToString.ps1:

Code:
#Convert ACSII Input to String Value
write-host "-----------------------------" -foregroundcolor "magenta"
write-host " Multi ACSII Char Calculator " -foregroundcolor "magenta"
write-host "-----------------------------" -foregroundcolor "magenta"
write-host; write-host

function ACSII_ {
	$var = read-host "Enter an Octal Value or Input (Example - 140 150 126 138)"
	
	$data = $var.split(" ")
	foreach ($obj in $data) {
		$ErrorActionPreference = "silentlycontinue"
		$str_dec += [char][int]"$obj"
		
		$oct = [Convert]::ToInt32($obj, 8)
		$str_oct += [char][int]"$oct"
		
		$hex = [Convert]::ToInt32($obj, 16)
		$str_hex += [char][int]"$hex"
	}

	write-host
	write-host "[Input Value: $var]"
	write-host
	write-host "Decimal Value: " -foregroundcolor "magenta" -nonewline; write-host $str_dec -foregroundcolor "cyan"
	write-host "Octal Value: " -foregroundcolor "magenta" -nonewline; write-host $str_oct -foregroundcolor "cyan"
	write-host "Hex Value: " -foregroundcolor "magenta" -nonewline; write-host $str_hex -foregroundcolor "cyan"
	write-host "HTML Value: "  -foregroundcolor "magenta" -nonewline; write-host "(Note: Same as Hex output)" -foregroundcolor "cyan"
	write-host
	
	clear-variable -name str_oct, str_dec, str_hex
	ACSII_
}
