✖convert - version 0.1.3

An all-in-one module to convert files and object types.

Its like the builtin [system.convert] but extended.

↯ Install

Install-Module cliHelper.xconvert

⤷ Straight forward; gets the latest version.

🧑🏻‍💻 ᴜsᴀɢᴇ

Hint: xconvert is pretty much the only cmdlet you have to remember ×͜×

⤷ 1. (xconvert). Like directly using the class.

• To know what method to use, you just type xconvert From and

  Tab to see all options.

  xconvert From Tab

  gives this output

  

  or xconvert To Tab

  

Then you can do stuff like:

"HelloWorld" | xconvert ToBase32
# same as
(xconvert)::ToBase32("HelloWorld")

ie: since xconvert is an alias for the public funtion Invoke-Converter.

⤷ 2. Chain⫘⫘ing and piping public function(s)

ex: do stuff like

$enc_Pass = "HelloWorld" | xconvert ToBase32, ToObfuscated, ToSecurestring
# then reverse it:
$txt_Pass = $enc_Pass | xconvert ToString, FromObfuscated, FromBase32, ToUTF8str
$txt_Pass | Should -Be "HelloWorld"
# Metal 🔥 ⚡︎ 🤘

Advanced? yeah you can get nuts with this cmdlet 🤓

ғᴀᴏ̨ (‘•.•’): Why?!

⤷ PowerShell has limited built-in Support for Some Formats.

For me, this is like a fun and AIO solution to extend that functionality.

• While PowerShell excels at handling common file formats(JSON, XML, CSV) and data types, users may find limited built-in support for less common file types, necessitating additional modules.

  Example: Converting excel Files often result in corrupted files.

The goal is simple, to make [xconvert] the best module to convert objects in powershell.
