Hi all,

I've written a script that allows you to browse for a csv file, it then populates dropdown boxes with the headers, allows you to select values from the list and then output it to powergadgets (it references a template file)
I use this daily for perfmon work and it saves me tons of time.

One issue i have and could use some help on, is when you have charted a file you can't then select a new file and chart it. I need some sort of reset mechanism.

Please excuse any sloppy formating as i'm finding my why around powershell and .net, but i would welcome any ideas for improvement and feedback on where the code could be simplified.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Cheers

Attachment didn't seem to work.....trying again :-)

The Web server isn't configured to "serve" PS1 files - since you changed to TXT, it should be fine .

WOW - that's a meaty script! On the whole, I think that's pretty much the way I'd proceed. I might put a bit more in the way of comments in there, since you're doing a LOT with WinForms and it'll be tough to follow six months from now, trust me! This is something you should consider adding to the ScriptVault for permanent storage.

Thanks Don. I will be adding this to the vault after i've tidied it up a bit (and added some comments).

Can anyone help with some sort of reset mechanism? The issue is that once the CSV file headers have been enumerated, you cannot then go back and work on a different file without first closing the GUI and restarting the script.

You'd want to wrap the whole thing in some kind of loop, then, so that the whole script (essentially) can re-run automatically until the user decided they're done.

Found a way around the reset problem.

I have changed the code so that when the 'choose axis' button is clicked the first thing it does is remove any existing comboboxes before creating the new ones.

This allows you to keep choosing and charting different files without having to restart the script.

I've tidied it up and submited it for the script vault. Hope you find it useful.

Cheers

You should post this in the PowerGadgets Cool Scripts forum also:

Mind sharing your template file too?
