The joy and pain of HTML

I'm trying to understand how Powershell interprets the data meets she ConvertTo-Html.  I used the front cmdlet with simple reports for snapshots, but now I want to start the conversion of a large number of scripts that are normally .txt to HTML files.  This is the first thing I try.

$custom = ' < style >

BODY {background-color: #999966 ;}}

TABLE {border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; border-collapse: collapse ;}}

TH {border-width: 1px; padding: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black ;}}

TD {border-width: 1px; padding: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black ;}}

< / style > '

Get-VMHost | foreach {"$(($_ |))"} Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter | where {$_.managementtrafficenabled - eq "true"} | {' (Sélectionnez-développez IP)) "+" ' t ' * 2 + "$($_.name)"} | ConvertTo-Html-head $custom - body ' addresses IP ESXi < H2 > < / H2 > ' | Out-file c:\Scripts\Hosts.htm

I formatted the above script to conform to how someone could enter data into their Windows hosts file, but I want to be able to take each line and put it online in a HTML document.

I tried this:

$HTMLhosts = get-VMHost | foreach {"$(($_ |))"} Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter | where {$_.managementtrafficenabled - eq "true"} | {' (Sélectionnez-développez IP)) "+" ' t ' * 2 + "$($_.name)"}

When I look at the variable above, I see the data that I want to, each line indicates the IP address and the name of the host on the same line, e.g.;   5.5.5.5 ESXihostname

If I look at $HTMLhosts [0], I see 1 line with the IP address and the host name.  If I use $HTMLhosts [0] | ConvertTo-html-fragment I get a random number

PS C:\Users > $HTMLhosts [0] | ConvertTo-Html-Fragment

< table >

< colgroup > < col / > < / colgroup >

< tr > < th > * < /th > < /tr >

< tr > < td > 41 < table > < /tr >

< /table >

I don't know if each object $ current _ must be converted somehow, and it is true that I am not an expert when it comes to html.  Of course I hope an answer for my current script can be converted to HTML, but overall, I want to understand how and why Powershell see data html and handle.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello, : DZ1-.

I would say the problem is to do with the way you mix strings and objects.  You should have better results if you stick with objects and then transfer those to the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet.  Something like:

$strCustomCSS = @''@

Get-VMHost |    ## select the properties to output    Select @{n="IP"; e={(Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost $_ | where {$_.ManagementTrafficEnabled -eq $true}).IP}}, Name |    ## convert the objects to HTML, using the CSS    ConvertTo-Html -Head $strCustomCSS -Body '
ESXi IP addresses
' | Out-File c:\Scripts\Hosts.htm -Encoding Ascii

That worked for you?
