I've been experimenting more with my PSTypeExtensionTools module, finding more objects to enhance.\u00a0 You can check out the project on Github<\/a> and install the module from the PowerShell Gallery. My current fun has been with the DateTime object \u2013 specifically converting a value into another culture.\u00a0 Apparently those of us in North America don't know how to format a date properly. But now with a few script methods added to the DateTime type, I can correct that oversight.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How your dates are formatted is stored in a culture definition.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can get information for other cultures by using the .NET Framework.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let's reformat a date:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can use the \u2013f operator and specify a different pattern.<\/p>\n

$n = Get-Date\r\n\"{0:$([cultureinfo]::GetCultureInfo(\"en-gb\").datetimeformat.fulldatetimepattern)}\" -f $n\r\n<\/pre>\n
\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n
This isn't especially difficult. But it is a lot to type. So let's make this an extension to the DateTime type with my Add-PSTypeExtension command.<\/p>\n
$sb = { \r\nParam ([string]$culture)\r\n\r\n\"{0:$([cultureinfo]::GetCultureInfo(\"$culture\").DateTimeFormat.fulldatetimepattern)}\" -f $this\r\n}\r\n\r\nAdd-PSTypeExtension -TypeName System.Datetime -MemberType ScriptMethod -MemberName ConvertCulture -Value $sb\r\n<\/pre>\n
Now this is much easier. All I need to do is invoke the script method and provide a culture.<\/p>\n
\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n
I also added a method to convert to a short date pattern.<\/p>\n
$sb2 = {\r\nParam ([string]$culture)\r\n\r\n\"{0:$([cultureinfo]::GetCultureInfo(\"$culture\").DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern)}\" -f $this\r\n\r\n}\r\n\r\nAdd-PSTypeExtension -TypeName System.Datetime -MemberType ScriptMethod -MemberName ConvertShortDate -Value $sb2\r\n<\/pre>\n
You use it the same way.<\/p>\n
\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n
I'm not sure of an especially practical use for these methods, but they are fun to play with and help demonstrate the value in extending type definitions. I hope you'll give the PSTypeExtenstionTools module a spin and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
