PowerShell Example

[winfred]

Hi,

I've written a PowerShell example that uses DotNetWikiBot.dll.

$LocalFolderToSaveTo = "C:\DownloadLocation"
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("D:\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\test\dotnetwikibot\DotNetWikiBot.dll")

$EnWiki = new-object DotNetWikiBot.Site("http://en.wikipedia.org", "WikipediaUserName", "WikipediaPassword");
$PageList = new-object DotNetWikiBot.PageList($enWiki);

$PageList.FillFromCategory("Featured pictures")
$ImageExts = ".jpg", ".png", ".jpeg"
Foreach($Page in $PageList.pages)
{
     if(($ImageExts -eq $Page.Title.substring($Page.Title.length - 4, 4)) -and (!($Page.Title.startswith("File talk"))) )

    {
     $DownloadTo = $Null
     $RenamedPage = $Page.Title.replace("File:", "")

    $RenamedPage = $RenamedPage.replace("`"", "") # "
     $RenamedPage = $RenamedPage.replace("`'", "")

    $DownloadTo = join-path $LocalFolderToSaveTo ($RenamedPage)
     $page.DownloadImage($DownloadTo)

    }
}

That's cool. If someone asks me about PowerShell, I'll refer them right to your article.
