Hi
Does anyone works on SQL Server Named install using PowerShell using .ini files?
If you have any runnable script please share.
Basically want to have the flexibility of both default and named install based on switch option it will work accordingly.
Thanks.

Unable to hold the value from summry.txt file. Basically want to hold the value pf Final Results column to a variable to check if this Passed or Failed.

Please suggest how to write.

clear Select-String -Path "C:\sql_test\Summary.txt" -Pattern "Final results:"

Thanks.

You could do something like:
$S = Select-String -Path "C:\sql_test\Summary.txt" -Pattern "Final" Write-Host $S

It should work as select-string stops on the first match (unless you add -AllMatches).

Hi Sue

I want to hold the value of the "Final Results" value coming from summary.txt file to a variable

If the key-value pair is Failed/other error, my build automation will not move further and break. But if this is Passed, it will go through.

Can you suggest how to tweak the code?

$S = Select-String -Path "C:\sql_test\Summary.txt" -Pattern "Final" 
Write-Host $S

Thanks.

Not necessarily a good way since I only know some basics in Powershell but try something like this - grabs just line from the string, gets the string after the colon and then trims the whitespace:

$S = Select-String -Path "C:\sql_test\Summary.txt" -Pattern "Final Result:"
$S = $S.Line
$S = $S.Split(":")[1]
$S = $S.Trim()

If ($S -eq "Passed") { write-host "Passed" } Else { write-host $S }

Many thanks. Working as is. Did not knock my mind to check the
$S.line option.

Thanks.
