This example demonstrates a PowerShell script that archives files and folders older than a specified date by month. It processes items in an input directory matching a file mask, copying those created before the first day of the given month and year into monthly subdirectories, then compressing each into a separate ZIP archive. The script uses the `Get-ChildItem` cmdlet with the `-Include` parameter, `Copy-Item` with `-Recurse`, and the `Compress-Archive` cmdlet, writing progress to the console via `Write-Host`.

This example demonstrates how to convert a compressed LiDAR point-cloud dataset from IGN’s French national archive into a ZIP archive for easier distribution. The shell script downloads a 7z file via `wget`, decompresses it with `unp`, recompresses the contents into a ZIP using `zip`, and then reports the final disk usage with `du -cksh`. It relies on standard command-line utilities rather than JavaScript libraries, showing a practical data-preparation workflow for large geospatial files.

get previous month in shell script

This shell script calculates the previous month for a given date, storing the result in a text file for later use. It reads a year and month from either command-line arguments or a previously saved file, then uses the GNU `date` command with the `--date` option to subtract one month from the 15th day of the specified month. The script writes the computed year and month back to a file named with a `last_` prefix, enabling sequential month calculations across runs. It relies on Bash parameter expansion for string slicing and file redirection for persistence.

Add signature image to PDF

This example shows a PowerShell script that converts Excel workbooks to PDF files and inserts a signature image into each one. It processes every .xls and .xlsx file in a specified folder, opening the first worksheet of each workbook. Using the Excel COM object, it places the signature PNG into cell D10 via the `Shapes.AddPicture` method, then exports the workbook as a PDF using `ExportAsFixedFormat`. The script relies on the Microsoft Office Interop Excel API and iterates through files with `Get-ChildItem`.

Bash script for execute all days in a specific year

This visualization demonstrates a date-based iteration pattern, showing every calendar day in the year 2018 as a scripted execution step. It first calculates the last day of each month using the `cal` command combined with `awk` to extract the maximum day number, then loops through days 1 through that maximum. The script formats month and day values with zero-padding via `printf` and outputs a command string for each date, with a commented `sleep 1` indicating a potential pause between runs. It relies solely on standard Bash utilities—`seq`, `cal`, `awk`, and `printf`—without any external data sources or rendering libraries.

This example shows a PowerShell script for preparing a Windows machine for remote management and cloning. It configures WinRM by setting memory and timeout limits, enabling basic authentication, and allowing unencrypted traffic, and it disables UAC and NLA through registry edits via `New-ItemProperty`. The code also invokes `Dism` to install .NET Framework 3.5, uses `cleanmgr.exe` for disk cleanup, and downloads Sysinternals' SDelete via `Invoke-WebRequest` to zero free space.

Reading a Zip file in Power Query via R

This example demonstrates how to read a compressed CSV file directly from a local ZIP archive using Power Query’s R integration. The visualization shows the result of an R script that extracts the file `R_Twitter_sample.csv` from `R_Twitter_sample.zip` and loads it into a table. The Power Query `R.Execute` function runs the R code, which relies on R’s base `read.csv` and `unz` functions to handle the archive and file parsing. The output is then returned to Power Query via the `[Name="datacsv"]` reference, making the data available for further transformation or charting. No external visualization library is used; the focus is purely on data ingestion.

powershell wtf

This example illustrates a PowerShell script that extracts a changeset ID from a Git commit message using two different approaches. It first demonstrates a successful method using a `Where-Object` pipeline with a regular expression, followed by a direct `-Match` operator, both printing the captured group to the console. The script then shows a commented-out version where the `-Match` operator fails, producing a "Cannot index into a null array" error, highlighting the difference in handling matched results. The code relies on PowerShell's built-in regex matching and `Write-Host`, drawing data from `git log`.

UnZip in Power Query M

This example demonstrates a custom implementation of the UnZip algorithm entirely in Power Query M, enabling direct extraction of compressed ZIP file contents without external dependencies. It shows how binary data can be parsed and decompressed within Power BI’s data transformation environment. The code defines a binary format using `BinaryFormat.Record` to parse ZIP file headers, including signatures, compression flags, and sizes, then applies `BinaryFormat.Transform` with `Compression.Deflate` to decompress individual file entries. The result is a table of filenames and their uncompressed contents, derived from a gist by Hugoberry, showcasing low-level binary handling and list transformations in M.
