Powershell using string and file content in email message body without breaking formatting -


i have powershell script has part needs email information. have requirement include 2 pieces of information inside message body, having issues formatting. first part line of text store inside powershell script variable, , second part information text file. below simplified version of want do:

$info1="the following fruits ready eat:   " $info2=get-content "info2.txt" $body=$info1 + $info2 $body=$body | out-string send-mailmessage -to myname@mydomain.com -subject "fruit status" -from  fruit@mydomain.com -body $body -smtpserver smtp.mydomain.org -usessl

the file info2.txt contains following info. 3 columns list of fruits tab separators:

col1        col2        col3 apple       orange      pear banana      grape       strawbery kiwi        peach       apricot

the above code works email looks this:

the following fruits ready eat:   col1        col2        col3 apple      orange      pear banana     grape        strawbery kiwi      peach       apricot

it keeps line spaces in $info1 stored variable string, places content of info2.txt file in 1 continuous line, no line breaks or tabbed formatting.

i tested below changes whereby line of text $info1 variable, instead obtained doing get-content on same piece of text inside file named "info1.txt". when append both pieces of information message body, formatting maintained , email looks ok.

$info1=get-content "info1.txt"  $info2=get-content "info2.txt" $body=$info1 + $info2 $body=$body | out-string send-mailmessage -to myname@mydomain.com -subject "fruit status" -from  fruit@mydomain.com -body $body -smtpserver smtp.mydomain.org -usessl    following fruits ready eat:   col1        col2        col3  apple       orange      pear  banana      grape       strawbery  kiwi        peach       apricot*

i notice if below using first method, grabbing file content first , string variable, formatting kept fine:

$body=$info2 + $info1

it when start string variable first, mucks formatting in email file content part.

i prefer keep script more compact , minimize writing out files on disk , used stored variables. there way can use method 1 appending string or multiple strings, followed file content formatting kept? not wish use html overly complicate matters text file content working body -body rather -bodyashtml unless way sort this.

i believe have found answer. played get-content -raw argument before think having trouble using content stored in pipeline. when use below directly on file no other clauses, fixes issue:

$info1="the following fruits ready eat:   " $info2=get-content "info2.txt" -raw $body=$info1 + $info2 $body=$body | out-string send-mailmessage -to myname@mydomain.com -subject "fruit status" -from  fruit@mydomain.com -body $body -smtpserver smtp.mydomain.org -usessl

get-content gets content of item @ location specified, such text in file. default powershell read content 1 line @ time , return collection of system.string objects. carriage returns (cr/lf) stripped original file when powershell displays collection of strings, re-insert carriage returns display original file.

if specify -raw, behaviour reversed , entire file read @ once.

Add a dynamic header in angular 2 http provider -

i have http interceptor built via tutorial https://scotch.io/@kashyapmukkamala/using-http-interceptor-with-angular2 the problem need have dynamic header changes automatically once changes 'mode' in app. service able tell interceptor change header, or have interceptor pull header (which string)from service each request. able throwing away patch method, call http.patch('new header string') set header string. call in service controls 'mode' setting. wondering if there way interceptor pull recent value service each request or if can add method http provider via interceptor? i've tried call service in interceptor each request returns undefined. because creating new instance of service or copying value before service fired , loaded/changed data. i don't want pass header string every http provider call because defeats purpose of having interceptor, id able set once changes or have provider fetch service before makes request. tl;dr : need add autom...
