The PowerShell command
Get-ADFSRelyingPartyTrust | select Name | out-file C:\listOfNames.txt
generates a file as follows:
Name
----
AustriaRP
BahamasRP
BrazilRP
CanadaRP
[...]
Now, how can I check if BrazilRP has been extracted and C:\listOfNames.txt contains it?
The Get-Content and then Select-String should help. If the string is in the file it will get returned. If not then the command will returned empty value.
Get-Content C:\listOfNames.txt | Select-String "BrazilRP"
If the "BrazilRP" occurs more than once all the occurrences will returned so you know if you got any duplicates. Same holds if the string is a part of a longer expression. For example if you search for "zil" then "BrazilRP" will be returned as well.
Also you can pipe the results out to another file:
Get-Content C:\listOfNames.txt | Select-String "BrazilRP" | Out-File C:\myResults.txt
I found a solution (but thanks to PiotrWolkowski to suggest me the Get-Content function):
$file = Get-Content "C:\listOfNames.txt"
$containsWord = $file | %{$_ -match "BrazilRP"}
if ($containsWord -contains $true) {
Write-Host "There is!"
} else {
Write-Host "There ins't!"
}
If you want to easily see if a file contains your text try this
The [bool] type returns the data as either true or false instead of returning the actual data your searching for
if ([bool]((Get-Content -Path "C:\listOfNames.txt") -like '*BrazilRP*')) {
write-host "found it"
}
else {
write-host "didnt find it"
}
(gc C:\listOfNames.txt) -contains 'BrazilRP'
