7-Zip | 7-Zip source code repository

This is my first question on SO so here goes!

I'm getting started with a simple powershell script that I intend to use to benchmark some archiving software. I want to run the archiver (7-zip on Windows 10 in this case) and write the console output to a text file to keep as a log. Then, I want to append to that same log the start time, end time, file sizes... etc.

The problem is I'm having difficulty sending the output to the text file. During multiple tries I never could make it work. I tried Out-File and also the normal ">" redirect but it still ends empty. I even tried setting -PassThru parameter on Start-Process but it only sent the object properties instead of the Host contents.

Curiously, when I make this command run in CMD with the ">" redirect, it works as expected and I find a text file with the expected contents.

This is my current powershell script:

I have a .Net 6 web application that I am building in devops. I am trying to substitute settings in the appsettings.json, but somehow can't get it working.

What I have:

1. Azure Key vault set up, with a secret with the name: Configuration--ConnectionStrings--ConnectionString
2. Pipelines have access to this Key Vault with a Variable Group
3. I have tried the transform task in both build and release pipeline
4. I have tried the option in the IIS Web app deploy task for substitution

1 - All is fine

2 - All is fine

3 - I have tried this task in build and release with the following configuration:

From batch file, I Need to recurse directories (and sub directories) and unzip every zip file found into their current directory w/delete of archive

So, using a batch file or similar script method, i would like to recurse all directories and sub directories from a starting path location and for every zip file found, I want to unzip the contents in place (to the same directory as the zip file) and if successful, I want to delete the zip file.

I've not been doing bat files for quite a long time so looking for any help I can get.

What I've tried:

I have Downloaded a Medical DataSet to Use in Machine Learning and the Files are like this

dicom_v1.tar.gz.aa

dicom_v1.tar.gz.ab

dicom_v1.tar.gz.ac

dicom_v1.tar.gz.ad

and so on ...

I don't know how to extract these files ,when i use Winrar or 7-Zip , it doesn't work . in the ReadMe File Attached it is Written :

To uncompress this dataset execute in an unix command line: ` cat dicom_archive.tar.* | tar -xzvf ´

How Can i Use this in Windows 10 as i am a beginner?

So I want to be able to drag one or more rar or zip files to a batch .cmd script that extracts the file with 7zip to a directory one level up, renames the extracted file to the current folder name and then deletes the folder with the rar or zip archives.

So far I have:

I have created an installer using NSIS package to install my own software along with some 3rd party softwares such as Notepad++ and winPython. Batch scripts are being run to install notepad++ and winPython. The winPython which is packaged into the installer is in a zipped format "winPython3940.7z". This is being unzipped into a folder as a part of the installer using the following .nsh script.

I have an Excel worksheet called "Main" which includes a set amount of columns, one of which contains a listing of different codes (CVE's) regarding patches that need to be installed on worksheets based on criteria from the internet.

The codes to search for are not in a set format, other than being in strings containing the code.

I manually created a number of worksheets based on keywords in these strings, that will eventually, contain all the lines from the master sheet, but only those defined by the name of the keyword I want.

For example, I have a worksheet named "Microsoft" that should contain all the rows from the master sheet that refer to Microsoft CVE's, based on a search of the string and finding the word "Microsoft". Same for Adobe and so on.

I created a script to copy the rows, as well as create a new Index sheet that lists the amount of rows found for each keyword that have been copied from the master sheet to the relevant sheet.

And this is where I get lost.

I have 18 worksheets which are also keywords. I can define a single keyword and then copy everything over from the main worksheet for one keyword.

I need a loop (probably a loop within a loop) that reads the worksheet names as defined in the Index, searches for all the relevant rows that contain a CVE regarding that keyword, and then copy the row over to the relevant worksheet that I created into the relevant row on that worksheet.
For example, if I have copied two rows, the next one should be written to the next row and so on, until I have looped through all the worksheet (keyword) names and have reached the empty row after the last name in the Index sheet.

My code, set for only one keyword for a limited run to test works.
I need to loop through all the keywords and copy all the data.
In the end, I want to copy the relevant row from the master worksheet (Main) to the relevant worksheet (based on keyword worksheet name in the Index worksheet), and delete the row after it was copied from the master worksheet.
I should end up with all the data split into the relevant worksheets and an empty (except for headers) master worksheet.

This is what I have so far (from various examples and my own stuff).

Here's the code

I need to archive a folder without some subfolders and files using PowerShell. My file/folder exclusions can occur on any level of hierarchy. To explain, here is a simple example for a WinForms VS project. If we open it in VS and build, VS creates the bin/obj subfolders with executable contents, the hidden .vs folder with user settings, and maybe *.user files for the projects included into the solution. I want to archive such a VS solution folder without all those file and folder items that can be recreated the next time when we build the solution.

It is done very easily with 7-Zip using its -x! command line switch:
