    I hit a problem later
    I hit a problem later…. The full main file actually looked like this in a text editor:

    and it got me an 9 line array, where I was expecting one of 2102


    I don’t know how that came about since the four lines file was made and saved in the same ISE environment in which the Main file was and was saved in. But it looks like unfortunately there may be a few, 9 , vbCr & vbLfs.
    So, I took a look at a shortened vision of that file, as saved in a text editor, trying to capture some of the problem areas.
    This is what I looked at


    Here is the results:
    Code:
     
    "Function BlochIPhosts " & Chr(123) & "param" & "(" & Chr(91) & "int" & Chr(93) & "$" & "Testie" & ")" & vbCr & vbLf & " " & "$" & "Check " & "=" & " " & "$" & "Testie" & vbCr & vbLf & "Write" & "-" & "Host " & """" & "Adding telemetry domains to hosts file" & """" & " " & "#" & " Write" & "-" & "Output " & """" & "Adding telemetry domains to hosts file" & """" & vbCr & vbLf & "$" & "hosts" & "_" & "file " & "=" & " " & """" & "$" & "env" & ":" & "systemroot" & "\" & "System32" & "\" & "drivers" & "\" & "etc" & "\" & "hosts" & """"
    
    "Add" & "-" & "Type " & "-" & "AssemblyName System" & "." & "Windows" & "." & "Forms" & vbLf & Chr(91) & "System" & "." & "Windows" & "." & "Forms" & "." & "Application" & Chr(93) & ":" & ":" & "EnableVisualStyles" & "(" & ")" & " " & "#" & vbLf & "Remove" & "-" & "Variable " & Chr(42) & " " & "-" & "ErrorAction SilentlyContinue " & "#" & " is needed or else a removed variable is still there when fucking about with variables" & "." & " by default variables are persistant" & "." & vbLf & "$" & "ErrorActionPreference " & "=" & " " & "'" & "SilentlyContinue" & "'"
    
    "Add" & "-" & "Type " & "-" & "AssemblyName System" & "." & "Windows" & "." & "Forms " & "#" & " For ps1 in PowerShell running code lines in PowerShell with Admin rights of the following form are what you need to set this off Set" & "-" & "ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted cd " & "'" & "G" & ":" & "\" & "Temp Opt" & "\" & "GitHub" & "\" & "win10script" & "-" & "master" & "\" & "My ps1 file Folder" & "'" & " " & "." & "\" & "win10debloat6Dec" & "-" & "31Dec" & "." & "ps1 " & vbLf & Chr(91) & "System" & "." & "Windows" & "." & "Forms" & "." & "Application" & Chr(93) & ":" & ":" & "EnableVisualStyles" & "(" & ")" & " " & "#" & vbLf & "Remove" & "-" & "Variable " & Chr(42) & " " & "-" & "ErrorAction SilentlyContinue " & "#" & " is needed or else a removed variable is still there when fucking about with variables" & "." & " by default variables are persistant" & "." & vbLf & "$" & "ErrorActionPreference " & "=" & " " & "'" & "SilentlyContinue" & "'" & vbLf

    ) & ")" & vbLf & "#" & " " & "$" & "oldpower" & "." & "Add" & "_" & "Click" & "(" & Chr(123) & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & "#" & " " & Chr(125) & ")" & vbLf & "#" & " " & "$" & "restorepower" & "." & "Add" & "_" & "Click" & "(" & Chr(123) & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbCr & vbLf & "#" & " " & Chr(125) & ")" & vbLf & "#" & " " & "$" & "NFS" & "." & "Add" & "_" & "Click" & "(" & Chr(123) & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & "#" & " " & Chr(125) & ")" & vbLf & vbLf & "#" & " " & "$" & "Virtualization" & "." & "Add" & "_" & "Click" & "(" & Chr(123) & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & vbLf & "#" & " " & Chr(125) & ")" & vbLf & vbLf & "$" & "windowsupdatefix" & "." & "Add" & "_" & "Click" & "(" & Chr(123) & vbLf & " Write" & "-" & "Host " & """" & "1" & "." & " Stopping Windows Update Services" & "." & "." & "." & """" & " " & vbLf & " Stop" & "-" & "Service "
     & "-" & "Name BITS " & vbLf & " " & " "
    From that above output we can see 11, so that’s 10 lines rather than 9. This inconsistency by 1 is somewhat worrying.
    I looked at the array produced from that shortened text file, and it is as before, 9
    One possibility is that some length restriction is long some of the line feed pairs, or a line slipped in at my making of the shortened file

    For the masochistic pleasure I tried the full main file in the first simple macro. To my surprise, it worked, after a few hours, the result came out.
    Temp7BeforeIPhostsInsertFirst4Lines_ps1WtchaGot https://app.box.com/s/12zw9id42xrwc7qy70ul87bg0wfpb4uh
    Temp7BeforeIPhostsInsertFirst4Lines_ps1WtchaGot https://app.box.com/s/771q1gzpycle7ccveu235j256n4l4xyb

    It returned 8, making 9 lines.

    So that discrepancy is perhaps sorted.
    My initial conclusions may have based on slightly careless manipulations that brought some invisible characters in.

    One possibility is that the original main coding came from GitHub: This for example talks about the line feed issue at GitHub

    So I will make a function, just for convenience even though I am not so keen on those things
    It will take in
    _(i) The two file names , the main one, and then the one to be inserted,
    _(ii) the line at which to insert, and optional the number of lines to insert, ( if no number is given, I assume all lines want to be inserted from the second file )
    _ an optional name for the output file, ( if none is given I will add something like the date to the name of the original main file, and call it that)

    _(iii) Based on the results from the last post, I probably will need to keep my eye on the line feed issue. For now the way to proceed could be to first replace all vbCr & vbLf with vbLf, to get them hopefully all to the same , and then after replace all vbLf with vbCr & vbLf
    _ (iv) I assume all files are in the same folder

    The techniques used to bring the files into 1 dimensional array of rows are tried and trusted, used many times before. I have the main file in a master array , arrRwsM() , and the file to be merged into it is in the array, arrRws()
    At the point of the code development, where these arrays were made, I checked the contents, and there was perfect agreement between the rows in the ps1 files, and the elements of the arrays.

    So what is new is to combine, merge, the files as required
    A simple loop will do, that tacks on the extra coding from the left in the master code array.
    We don’t need to add many spaces, since usually there is already many since the commented lines are over to the right. This is a simple coding bit to do that,
    ______ arrRwsM(LnNbr - 1) = arrRws(LnNbr - StRw) & arrRwsM(LnNbr - 1)
    Code:
        For LnNbr = StRw To Rws + StRw - 1 ' This  - 1  is the usual “getting end row from start row and count of rows” issue - its always     (the start row) + ( Rows count - 1 )
         Let arrRwsM(LnNbr - 1) = arrRws(LnNbr - StRw) & arrRwsM(LnNbr - 1) ' The  - 1  here is because the one dimensional arrays start at 0, so the lines we are intersted in are 1 element back from where we might have expected them
        Next LnNbr 
    Its extremely easy now to remake the modified text file by joining the modified array elements by a line separator,
    ____ TotalFile = Join(arrRwsM(), vbCr & vbLf)
    ( For now I will stay with the vbCr & vbLf , as my personal preference )
    Code:

    That above coding has got me my Temp8.ps1 which is Temp7.ps1 with the merged IP hosts block function, along with a few other things done at the end of march, including a first look at a pretty coloured GUI

    In support of this post https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ge53#post12804
    A similar requirement to the last post, but for purposes of comparing a change in script by having the two versions side by side
    I will do the whole thing again, just to see if I still experience similar effects on a different day.

    I am interested in what seems to be a change by Chris Titus to his recent “WPF” windows utility
    This change was somehow in between others, ( (ii) inbetween (i) and (iii) ), so may have slipped past most people.
    I am taking my data from this red and green stuff , middle in Commit thing,
    Mistery Red and Green stuff https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/wi...d6f8ac9bee5a64
    or maybe not… This is what I have
    The previous XML from god knows where and when, ( the red stuff from that last link )
    Share ‘May10-17XML.txt’ https://app.box.com/s/ykynprd9a3ra4w7kcif4h5ziubwktw2t
    The “new” green stuff from that last link
    Share ‘May17XML.txt’ https://app.box.com/s/gsqjpfmmqwpadmu8wchjrlfrqxwrrg6e



    _ (iii) This is now from the next change the next change called up XML thing


    The big mystery seems to be for now where and what that red stuff comes from or is.
    It seems that the full script from 10 May, the full script from just before the last change (ii) on 17May, and the stand alone XLM in change (iii) all have the same XML stuff


    I think I will leave it for now… It’s all a total mess. It looks like he changed something he was never using to update it to what he was using.


    ….. later
