<\/a><\/p>\nIn text format there is essentially an \"object\" for each entry separated by the dashed line. What I needed to do was turn that into an PowerShell-based object. If you look at your output you'll see the challenging part is that there isn't necessarily a consistent output for each host. Some entries might not have any record types. When you have output like this I think you need to determine what is really important and is there anything in common you can work with? I decided all I really needed was the record name, its type and value (ie A or CNAME record value). <\/p>\n
So my first pass at the output is to pipe it to Select-String.<\/p>\n
[cc lang=\"PowerShell\"]
\n$data=ipconfig \/displaydns | select-string \"Record \"
\n[\/cc]<\/p>\n
I'm filtering on the string record followed by a space. Barring some odd result, this should leave me with 3 lines of data for each DNS entry in the cache. Now the fun part. I need to create a new object for every 3 lines of data. I accomplished this with a For construct.<\/p>\n
[cc lang=\"PowerShell\"]
\nfor ($i=0;$i -lt $data.count;$i+=3) {
\n Write-Verbose $data[$i]
\n...
\n[\/cc]<\/p>\n
The \"trick\" here is that instead of incrementing by 1 each time through the For loop which we typically do, I'm stepping by 3. Within the For loop I can parse each entry. <\/p>\n
When you use Select-String, the output is not a simple string but a Match object. I could have messed with the Matches property but I decided it was just as easy to turn each one into a string. Once I have a string, then I can split it on the colon and grab the \"value\".<\/p>\n
[cc lang=\"PowerShell\"]
\nNew-Object -TypeName PSobject -Property @{
\n Name=$data[$i].toString().Split(\":\")[1].Trim()
\n Type=($data[$i+1].toString().Split(\":\")[1].Trim()) -as [int]
\n Value=$data[$i+2].toString().Split(\":\")[1].Trim()
\n }
\n[\/cc]<\/p>\n
Each \"value\" is added as a property value for a custom object. I like trimming values because you'll often end up with leading and trailing spaces which can cause issues later. Notice also that I'm casing the Type as an [Int}. I did this so any sort on that property will be accurate. <\/p>\n
Here's my full sample script.<\/p>\n
[cc lang=\"PowerShell\"]
\n#requires -version 2.0<\/p>\n
[cmdletbinding()]
\nParam()<\/p>\n
Write-Verbose \"Getting DNS cache information\"
\n#parse dns data looking only for \"Record\" followed by a space
\n$data=ipconfig \/displaydns | select-string \"Record \"<\/p>\n
Write-Verbose (\"Retrieved {0} entries\" -f $data.count)
\nWrite-Verbose (\"There should be {0} dns records\" -f ($data.count\/3))<\/p>\n
#should be grouped into 3s.
\nfor ($i=0;$i -lt $data.count;$i+=3) {
\n Write-Verbose $data[$i]<\/p>\n
#each item is a Match object so convert to string, split at colon,
\n #grab the last item and trim it up. Cast the Type as an integer
\n #so it sorts properly<\/p>\n
New-Object -TypeName PSobject -Property @{
\n Name=$data[$i].toString().Split(\":\")[1].Trim()
\n Type=($data[$i+1].toString().Split(\":\")[1].Trim()) -as [int]
\n Value=$data[$i+2].toString().Split(\":\")[1].Trim()
\n }
\n} #for<\/p>\n
Write-Verbose \"Finished parsing DNS cache data\"
\n[\/cc]<\/p>\n
When I run the script I'll get an object like this for each entry in my DNS cache.<\/p>\n
[cc lang=\"DOS\"]
\nValue Name Type
\n----- ---- ----
\n64.191.203.30 digg.com 1

Or I can enjoy all the benefits of the PowerShell pipeline:<\/p>\n

I don't expect you to use this script in a production environment, but maybe you'll find a technique or two that might help.<\/p>\n
