Powershell script for multiple URLs

Question

Please help me ,iM.new to powershell scripts
I have to create a script to check multiple URLs and get the output in text file

Answer 1

Homework assignment? ;-)

Use Invoke-WebRequest.

For example:

$Uris = 'www.site.one','www.site.two'
$Uris |
    ForEach-Object{
        $Status = ""        # entirely optional if you don't care whay things failed
        Try{
            $Response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $_ -ErrorAction Stop
            $Status = $Response.StatusCode
            # Do something with the body part of the response
        }
        Catch{ 
            $Status = $Response.StatusCode
            # react to error here
        }
    }

How you deal with the "output" of the operation is up to you. Are you looking for specific data found in a HTML tag? Or just dumping the entire body of the response into a file?

@Vin , You can check the snippet shared as an attachment to this response. The following snippet would help you get the outputs in both .csv and .txt formats

Note: Make sure to update the extension of the attached file to .ps1 from .txt.

Answer 3

Please help me on this it would be grateful,

Just want another help that I have 3 scripts which I have saved as one program(ps1)... Thing is how to get the powershell output screen as email (not as text file or any other format) is there a way becoz i have a 3 different programs combined as one and output runs successfully but sending mail should be the output as email

Answer 4

You can attach the saved output (i.e., a file) to an e-mail by using the Send-MailMessage cmdlet.

Answer 5

@Vin , You can add the following snippet at the end of the script that I earlier shared as attachment:

$username = "user-email-address"  
$password = "password"  
$sstr = ConvertTo-SecureString -string $password -AsPlainText -Force  
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -argumentlist $username, $sstr  
$smtpServer = "smtp.office365.com" #if using Exchange Online, or put down the preferred smtp server address  
$sendTo = "user-email-address"  
$sentFrom = $username  
$messageSubject = "Test message"  
  
$body = $uriList | ConvertTo-Html | Out-String  
  
Send-MailMessage -To $sendTo `  
                 -From $sentFrom `  
                 -Subject $messageSubject `  
                 -Body $body `  
                 -BodyAsHtml `  
                 -smtpserver $smtpServer `  
                 -usessl `  
                 -Credential $cred `  
                 -Port 587  

This would help in sending the report in an email. Also, I am attaching the complete script as attachment to this response.

Note: Make sure to update the extension of the attached file to .ps1 from .txt.

Hope this helps.
