`Select-Object` with `ExcludeProperty` is good for removing a property from a collection of objects.

For removing a property from a single object this method might be more effective:

    # new object with properties Test and Foo
    $obj = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{ Test = 1; Foo = 2 }

    # remove a property from PSObject.Properties
    $obj.PSObject.Properties.Remove(&#39;Foo&#39;)


I don&#39;t think you can remove from an existing object but you can create a filtered one.

    $obj = New-Object -TypeName PsObject -Property @{ Test = 1}
    $obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Foo -Value Bar
    $new_obj = $obj | Select-Object -Property Test

Or

    $obj | Select-Object -Property * -ExcludeProperty Foo

This will effectively achieve the same result.


I found the following helps if you&#39;re interested in removing just one or two properties from a large object.  Convert your object into JSON then back to an object - all the properties are converted to type NoteProperty, at which point you can remove what you like.

 

       $mycomplexobject = $mycomplexobject | ConvertTo-Json | ConvertFrom-Json
        
        $mycomplexobject.PSObject.Properties.Remove(&#39;myprop&#39;)

The conversion to JSON and back creates a PSCustomObject. You&#39;ll have the original object expressed and then you can remove as desired.

If can depend on the type of object or collection you want to remove from. Commonly its a Collection (array) of objects like you might get from &#39;import-csv&#39; which you can do it pretty easily. 

    $MyDataCollection = Import-CSV c:\datafiles\ADComputersData.csv
    $MyDataCollection
    Windows Server : lax2012sql01
    IP             : 10.101.77.69
    Site           : LAX
    OS             : 2012 R2
    Notes           : V

    Windows Server : sfo2016iis01
    IP             : 10.102.203.99
    Site           : SFO
    OS             : 2012 R2
    Notes           : X

The to remove a property from each of these:

    $MyDataCollection | ForEach { $_.PSObject.Properties.Remove(&#39;Notes&#39;) }

    Windows Server : lax2012sql01
    IP             : 10.101.77.69

I am still learning Symfony2 and don&#39;t understand how to upload a file.

Don&#39;t worry, I&#39;ve already checked [the documentation](http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/doctrine/file_uploads.html). It&#39;s really good, but my problem isn&#39;t explained in any tutorial.

I am looking for guidance on how to upload a file with Symfony2 but with all the thing everybody needs (such as constraint of extension, rename of the file based on the id and stuff, store the path in the db, etc...)

I found good tutorials, tried to mixed them but with no success. Each time a different problem appears: file re-uploads on every submit on the form (even if the file field is empty), guessExtension impossible to used, tmp path stored in the database instead of the right path, file not moved, impossible to used the id in the rename because the id is on auto-increment and so not yet generated).

So, I&#39;ll put an &#39;standard&#39; entity, let say: Photo.php

    /**
     * Photo
     *
     * @ORM\Table(name=&quot;photo&quot;)
     * @ORM\Entity
     * @ORM\HasLifecycleCallbacks
     */
    class Photo
    {
        // Annotation for the id and auto increment etc
        private $id;
    
        /**
         * @var string
         * @Assert\File( maxSize = &quot;3072k&quot;, mimeTypesMessage = &quot;Please upload a valid Image&quot;)
         * @ORM\Column(name=&quot;image&quot;, type=&quot;string&quot;, length=245, nullable=false)
         */
        private $image
    
        private $title
    
        private $description
    
        // all the function get, set for the 4 previous variables
    }
    
and the controller:
    
    public function addPhotoAction()
    {
        $add_photo = new Photo;
        $formBuilderPhoto = $this-&gt;createFormBuilder($add_photo);
        $formBuilderPhoto
            -&gt;add(&#39;title&#39;,&#39;text&#39;,array(&#39;label&#39;  =&gt; &#39;Title of the photo&#39;, &#39;required&#39; =&gt; true))
            -&gt;add(&#39;image&#39;,&#39;file&#39;, array(&#39;required&#39; =&gt; true, &#39;data_class&#39; =&gt; null))
            -&gt;add(&#39;description&#39;,&#39;textarea&#39;,array(&#39;label&#39; =&gt; &#39;Description of your photo&#39;, &#39;required&#39; =&gt; false))
        ;
    
        $form_photo = $formBuilderPhoto-&gt;getForm();
    
        if ($request-&gt;getMethod() == &#39;POST&#39;) {
            $form_photo-&gt;bind($request);
            if ($form_photo-&gt;isValid()) {
                // ...
            }
        }
        return $this-&gt;render(&#39;MyBundle:frontend:photo.html.twig&#39;,
            array(&#39;form_photo&#39; =&gt; $form_photo-&gt;createView())
        );
    }

Do you know now what are the &#39;important&#39; function to add to be able to upload the photo and rename it ?

How do you check the extension to see if the upload is possible?

What is your actual way of doing such a thing with Symfony2? I know there is a lot of Bundle that do all those things for you but I want to learn to do it and understand the process.

What is the &#39;classic&#39; way to implement a file upload form and rename function with Symfony2?

I&#39;m trying to style the sections inside the AutoComplete, but I don&#39;t know what to put in the CSS *for* the sections. I&#39;m specifically trying to make:

    border-radius: 0px;

I need to remove a member (specifically, a NoteProperty) from an object. How do I accomplish this?

<p>I need to remove a member (specifically, a NoteProperty) from an object. How do I accomplish this?</p>


In [Posh-Git](https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git), when I run &quot;git status&quot; in a repository, the colors for changes and untracked files are dark red, when I have tried to configure them to be &quot;normal&quot; red.  I want to do this because I have a console with a dark background, so dark red is difficult to read.

I searched around, and there seem to be two configuration changes which I needed to make:

 1. Change &quot;WorkingForegroundColor&quot; and &quot;UntrackedForegroundColor&quot; from &quot;DarkRed&quot; to &quot;Red&quot; in $GitPromptSettings.

 2. Change &quot;color.status.changed&quot; and &quot;color.status.untracked&quot; to red in git config.

From my reading, that&#39;s all I should need to do, and yet the results of &quot;git status&quot; remain dark red.

Here&#39;s a summary, to prove I set them as I claimed, and maybe someone can spot the error:

I&#39;m having an issue with powershell when invoking an exe at a path containing spaces.

`PS C:\Windows Services&gt; invoke-expression &quot;C:\Windows Services\MyService.exe&quot;`

&gt; The term &#39;C:\Windows&#39; is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

It seems to be splitting on the space between &#39;Windows&#39; and &#39;Services&#39;. Any idea how to get around this problem?



Spaces cause split in path with PowerShell

I am using the PowerShell script from [this answer][1] to do a file copy. The problem arises when I want to include multiple file types using the filter. 

    Get-ChildItem $originalPath -filter &quot;*.htm&quot;  | `
       foreach{ $targetFile = $htmPath + $_.FullName.SubString($originalPath.Length); ` 
     New-Item -ItemType File -Path $targetFile -Force;  `
     Copy-Item $_.FullName -destination $targetFile }

works like a dream. However, The problem arises when I want to include multiple file types using the filter. 

    Get-ChildItem $originalPath ` 
      -filter &quot;*.gif&quot;,&quot;*.jpg&quot;,&quot;*.xls*&quot;,&quot;*.doc*&quot;,&quot;*.pdf*&quot;,&quot;*.wav*&quot;,&quot;.ppt*&quot;)  | `
       foreach{ $targetFile = $htmPath + $_.FullName.SubString($originalPath.Length); ` 
     New-Item -ItemType File -Path $targetFile -Force;  `
     Copy-Item $_.FullName -destination $targetFile }

Gives me the following error:

    Get-ChildItem : Cannot convert &#39;System.Object[]&#39; to the type &#39;System.String&#39; required by parameter &#39;Filter&#39;. Specified method is not supported.
    At F:\data\foo\CGM.ps1:121 char:36

        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgument,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand

I have various iterations of parentheses, no parentheses, `-filter`, `-include`, defining the inclusions as variable (e.g., `$fileFilter`) and each time get the above error, and always pointing to whatever follows `-filter`.

The interesting exception to that is when I code `-filter &quot;*.gif,*.jpg,*.xls*,*.doc*,*.pdf*,*.wav*,*.ppt*&quot;`. There are no errors, but I and get no results and nothing back to the console. I suspect I&#39;ve inadvertently coded an impicit `and` with that statement?

So what am I doing wrong, and how can I correct it?

How to properly -filter multiple strings in a PowerShell copy script

I&#39;m trying to create a JSON-serialized array. When that array contains only one item I get a string, not an array of strings (in JSON).

Multiple Items (works as expected):

    PS C:\&gt; @(&quot;one&quot;, &quot;two&quot;) | ConvertTo-JSON
    [
        &quot;one&quot;,
        &quot;two&quot;
    ]

Single Item Array (not as expected):

    PS C:\&gt; @(&quot;one&quot;) | ConvertTo-JSON
    &quot;one&quot;

Am I missing something?

How can I hide the progress display of `Invoke-WebRequest`? I do a lot of successive requests and have my own `Write-Progress` display that I use, so I don&#39;t need the built-in one popping up underneath it every time.

I use the mshtml results (the IE COM object) that are created from the result of `Invoke-WebRequest` automatically, so I can&#39;t switch to a `WebClient` or something like that, unless someone provides instructions on how to get an mshtml object from a WebClient request.

The OS that I am using is Windows 7, and the PowerShell version that is installed here is 2.0. Is it possible for me to upgrade it to version 3.0 or 4.0?

Because there are cmdlets that version 2.0 can&#39;t recognize.



How to upgrade PowerShell version from 2.0 to 3.0

I am searching for a list of all colors I can use in PowerShell. Since we need to provide names and no hexnumbers, it&#39;s hard to figure out if a color exists or not, at least if you don&#39;t know how :))

For example, as `-foregroundcolor`

    write-host &quot;hello world&quot; -foregroundcolor &quot;red&quot;


List of all colors available for PowerShell?

I have the following script code

		#[string]$password = $( Read-Host &quot;Input password, please&quot; )
		param (
			[string]$ReleaseFile = $(throw &quot;-ReleaseFile is required&quot;),
			[string]$Destination = $(throw &quot;-Destination is required&quot;)
		)
		 
		function unzipRelease($src, $dst)
		{
			$shell = new-object -com shell.application
			$zip = $shell.NameSpace($src)
			foreach($item in $zip.items())
			{
				$shell.Namespace($dst).copyhere($item)
			}
		}

		#  .\deployrelease.ps1 -ReleaseFile &quot;.\deploy.zip&quot; -Destination &quot;.&quot;

		unzipRelease –Src &#39;$ReleaseFile&#39; -Dst &#39;$Destination&#39;

I run the script with:  .\deployrelease.ps1 -ReleaseFile &quot;.\deploy.zip&quot; -Destination &quot;.&quot;

But I keep getting this:

		PS C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Tools&gt; .\deployrelease.ps1 -ReleaseFile &quot;.\deploy.zip&quot; -Destination
		The string starting:
		At C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Tools\deployrelease.ps1:19 char:16
		+ unzipRelease &#226;? &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; &quot;Src &#39;$ReleaseFile&#39; -Dst &#39;$Destination&#39;
		is missing the terminator: &quot;.
		At C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Tools\deployrelease.ps1:19 char:55
		+ unzipRelease &#226;?&quot;Src &#39;$ReleaseFile&#39; -Dst &#39;$Destination&#39; &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;
			+ CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (Src `&#39;$ReleaseF...&#39;$Destination`&#39;:String) [], ParseException
			+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : TerminatorExpectedAtEndOfString

I couldn&#39;t find the fix as I do not see any problem.

Any help?
