making the shell scripts usable for windows powershell about magpidownloader

[rubemlrm]

I think that i can help you doing that.during the weekend i will try handle this issue

[rdtheriault]

You just need to specify the path better. This worked for me

$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$client.DownloadFile("https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi-issues/MagPi62.pdf","C:/users/test.pdf")

[rdtheriault]

Yes, you could do something like this to the user folder

$client.DownloadFile("https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi-issues/MagPi62.pdf","$env:USERPROFILE/test.pdf")

More can be found here

To fix that error:

Start Windows PowerShell with the "Run as Administrator" option. Only members of the Administrators group on the computer can change the execution policy.
Enable running unsigned scripts by entering:
set-executionpolicy remotesigned

Relative to the assign , only the owner of repo can do that.

this issue is relative to #5

[joergi]

would be lovely! should I assign it to you?

[joergi]

is there one way to use a relative path @rdtheriault ?

[joergi]

ok, I tested it yesterday, but my shell was restricted. So first I have to find out, how to unlock it.
... I know why I switched more than 15 years ago to Linux

[rubemlrm]

restricted how ? what error did you get . I've tested this on my laptop and run without problems. we need to update travis to . if you want test all the alternatives, because you now rely on the bash command to execute the scripts, but on the Powershell you can't run with bash.

Besides this i think that can reduce the number of files , since the only thing that change between them is the language and language folders , its possible to change this to be more simple to use.

Btw you can assign this to me if you want.

[joergi]

I know that I can make the language as a parameter. But I want to keep it as simple as possible for all the languages, that's why I have separated files.

Can you try to assign by yourself? Looks like, I can't do this. thanks

That's what I got in my Powershell

code in the file looks like this:

$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$client.DownloadFile("https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi-issues/MagPi62.pdf","C:\Users\test.pdf")

(i also tried it yesterday night with path to C:/Users/test.pdf )

[joergi]

Now the assignment works.
I will not be able to have a look before Wednesday to it.
But thanks a lot for helping 👍

[rubemlrm]
