Another PowerShell Valentine

Posted on February 14, 2014February 14, 2014

I've been sharing some Valentine's Day themed fun on Twitter today. This one is a bit too long to fit into a tweet.

Manage and Report Active Directory, Exchange and Microsoft 365 with
ManageEngine ADManager Plus - Download Free Trial

$text = "Happy$([char]3)Valentine's$([char]3)Day"
$text.ToCharArray() | 
foreach -begin { 
$colors = "Cyan","Magenta","Yellow","White","Red","DarkRed","Green" } -process {
write-host $_ -NoNewline -ForegroundColor ($colors| Get-Random)} -end {"`n"}

To get the full effect you need to run in the console and not the ISE. It works in the ISE but you won't get the "special" characters.
