Change perl script to powershell

Hi all ,

I am new to programming , I would like to get help from this forum.

I have a perl program ( about 300 lines ) , I get a request to convert it to windows power shell script , I know it is a rather hard job , but I really want to get the job done , if I attach the progam here , would anyone help me for it ? very thanks

I got a better idea, how about you describe what the script does and we'll give you some inspiration on how it could be done with Powershell :)

Use words or pseudo code.. Starting out with 300 lines of codes is a clumsy approach to convert anything, at least in my opinion, 'cause you quickly loose sight on what you want to achieve :) 

I will guess that it can be done with.... And I'm guessing here, 27 lines of Powershell :P

I like to think up programs in pseudo code anyway, it helps me spot pitfalls and plan structure.

Hiya,

the formatting of the script is ludicrous, at least viewing in Notepad :)

Can you suggest an editor to view this in?

Also your description should be "a bit" more accurate. 

If presuming that Atmail is the application, then I'm guessing there is some sort of API against it? From the script it might look like your querying directly in the database. But again, hard to see without proper formatting.

Hiya,

I can open it, but the formatting of the script it self makes it very hard to read. In order words, I can't be arsed to create a script from that, as it will take me a few hours or more to format properly and understand.

I tried to download the file from a few PC , it can be read in correct format in wordpad , would you try , notepad , wordpad or ms word .

Very thanks.

Opening in Word gives proper formatting. I will see what I can make of it.

Okay, from what I can read and understand, I do not see any value in transferring it into a Powershell script.As far as I understand your creating AtMail accounts, based on LDAP queries.

In other words, why would you want to change it into Powershell?

1: It's not against Microsoft product. (AtMail)

2: Your doing some LDAP queries, not much that can be trimmed there.

Hi Jesper ,

1: It use Atmail in linux , I just would like to migrate it to on windows server.

2: Yes , it use LDAP , powershell could do the same thing ?

Hiya,

2: Yeah. Although, if it's an Active Directory, there's some cmdlets that might be easier to use.

Do you have any specific questions? I've generally found that it's best to completely scrap previous scripts and start fresh when migrating to PowerShell.
