Small script to automate recordings #26

Description

@AnderssonPeter

Hi I wrote a small powershell script to automate recordings.
Feel free to use it!

function Parse-KeyText ($Content) {
	$Content = $Content.Replace("`r`n", "`n").Replace("`n", "{ENTER}")
	[regex]$regex = '(?<modifiers>[+^%]+)?(?<content>{[^}]+}|[^+?^\^^%])'
	$regex.Matches($Content) | % { $_.Value }
}

function Send-Keys ($KeyStrokes, $KeyPressSleep = 30, $LongSleep = 1500) {
    $wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;
	foreach ($KeyPress in $KeyStrokes)
	{
		if ($KeyPress -eq '{SLEEP}')
		{
			Sleep -Milliseconds $LongSleep
		}
		else {
			Sleep -Milliseconds $KeyPressSleep
			$wshell.SendKeys($KeyPress)
		}
	}
}

$textToSend = @"
+^t{SLEEP}cd D:\Users\Peter\source\repos\FluentTerminal
powersession rec -c "pwsh -nologo" recording.txt
{SLEEP}Import-Module PowerType
{SLEEP}Enable-PowerType
git c{SLEEP}{DOWN}{SLEEP}{DOWN}{SLEEP} m{SLEEP}{DOWN}{SLEEP}
exit
{SLEEP}exit

"@
Write-Host "Installing powertype"
Install-Module PowerType
Write-Host "Simulating"
$KeyStrokes = Parse-KeyText -Content $textToSend
Send-Keys -KeyStrokes $KeyStrokes
Write-Host "Uninstalling PowerType"
Uninstall-Module PowerType
