Excellent profile customization. I use this one myself, and honestly it’s my favorite one. Keeps my head in the right place.
This PowerShell profile customization is simple and sweet: Go grab a webpage source; parse the lines to get to the juice; display a daily bible verse on my PowerShell console.
Step 1: Create your PowerShell profile.
Step 2: Add this code to your PowerShell profile.
# Add a daily bible verse
$web = new-object system.net.webclient
($web.DownloadString("http://www.christnotes.org/dbv.php").split("<")|? {$_ -match "dbv-reference"}).split(">")[1]
($web.DownloadString("http://www.christnotes.org/dbv.php").split("<")|? {$_ –match "dbv-content"}).split(">")[1].replace(""","`"").replace("'","’")
I’ve done the webpage parsing before. It really does work, but there’s a caveat: The webpage source can change.
If, for example the source webpage changes their <DIV> names to be something other than “dbv-reference” and “dbv-content” I would have refigure how to parse the page for the content I want.
God bless!
