Powershell script to extract table from html

had to extract table from HTML and this is what I came up with for a particular case: $firstTag=' <tr class="Row">' $secondTag='</tr> ' cd c:\Temp\ foreach ($line in (Get-Content *.html)) { if ($line -match $firstTag) { do {$foreach.MoveNext(); $line=$foreach.current | Out-File -FilePath 'out.txt' -Append -Encoding Unicode; } until ($foreach.current -match $secondTag) continue } }
Note that I had to twick original html files from Cp-1252 to Unicode - using utility from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cp-converter/ I used http://powergui.org/ to debug the script

Windows 8 is essentially Windows 7 with new GUI

For the set of old apps Windows 8 is the same as Windows 7, I was able to install without any problem, SAP GUI 7.20, TrendMicro antivirus. There is embeded Windows Defender in Windows 8, but it has to be switched off to let Trend to run.

The magic is unlocked when you have real "METRO" app in hand. Then Windows 8 (with WinRT) will shine differently. As you know, WinRT gives an asyncronous framework for fluid interface, it is more secure, as it run apps in isolated enviroment where not all user right are immediately given to an app, etc, etc.

Windows 8 Enterprise first look

Hi, I'm trying to install Windows 8 Enteprise from the DVD I received from Microsoft about a month ago. Looks good, setup is hyper easy.

Now I need to activate it and booms! I do not have Volume activation in my network. Actually there is a update that fixes that http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2757817, but it is not available in our company.

This article explains how to deal with this situation:

New(old) key to remember Winkey-R  since there is no start button. This is how to run programs by manually typing command line. Another way is to move mouse to right top corner and select search....
