Proper export from txt to html in Powershell



I have a script, which stores output in txt and I need to convert this output into html.



The format of txt file is following:


This file is generated for commits from: 2018-07-15 to: 2018-07-21 for branch: repositories contains: mineq


=============somerepo=============


Branch is development
1234567 Merge pull request #1227 from qp-10421_service_version_information
1234567 Merge branch 'development' into qp-10421_service_version_information
1234567 merged with development
1234567 QP-2071: update packages




=============Someotherrepo=============


Branch is development




=============MineqConfigApi=============


Branch is development
1234567 QP-10881 Remove WindowsVpnSettings service
1234567 Merge pull request #9 from quarti/QP-10881
1234567 QP-10881 Set SshClient ConnectionTimeout 10 minutes and Change sql query to skip Deleted Assets



To send this text into html, I use following code:


$SourceFile = "$env:WORKSPACEcommits.txt"
$TargetFile = "$env:WORKSPACEcommits.html"
$TextData = Get-Content $SourceFile
$LineData = $TextData -join ''
New-Object psobject -Property @{Text = $LineData} | ConvertTo-HTML | Out-File $TargetFile



But the output is following -

How to rework script, to receive exact output, with linebreaks, as in txt file?





is it just line breaks you are missing? if so just change your join statement.

"n" will inset a [newline] character "r" will insert a [return] character if you are not sure which to use, you can get the current default by doing: $nl = [Environment]::NewLine

DOH! looks like i need to somehow escape that first character. It is a [tick] follewed by n or r. [tick] is the character in the far left top of a US keyboard. It looks kind of like a backwards apostrophe

I know that ConvertTo-Html is cool, but if I want more control over generated HTML I do it manually:


$content = cat File.txt -Raw
$title = 'My HTML'
$html = @"
<html>
<head><title>$title</title></head>
<body>
<pre>$content</pre>
</body>
</html>
"@
$html | Out-File 'file.html'



pre tag is used in HTML to preserves preformatted element.


pre





Awesome! Thanks!

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Arduino Mega cannot recieve any sketches, stk500_recv() programmer is not responding Yesterday we were trying to update the firmware of our 3D-printer a Tevo Tarantula i3 The printer was running Marlin 3D Printer Firmware. We installed a new module a TL-Touch Sensor, a chinese copy of the Bl-Touch an auto bedleveling touch sensor for a 3D printer. After re-configurating a new version of the firmware for our setup in the Arduino IDE we went on with uploading the sketch to the Arduino Mega that was controling our 3D printer. Before we started uploading we made sure the right COM-port was selected in the Arduino IDE and that also the right type of Arduino was selected. The Arduino Mega 2260. Then we started with compiling the firmware and then uploading it to the Mega, Somewhere in between that moment the IDE freezed and crashed. As a response we removed the USB cable that was connected from the PC uploading the firmware onto the Arduino Mega, (This was a st...
