PowerShell: Invoke-WebRequest Android Police RSS Feed Emailer

I like Android Police and used to have their mailer but it was quirky so I wrote a RSS Feed reader which then sends an email.  I have it kick off daily via a scheduled task from my server and I get my daily dose.

[xml]$ap = iwr http://www.androidpolice.com/feed/
$articles = $ap.getelementsbytagname('item')

foreach ($a in $articles){
$link = $a.link
$comments = ($a.link + "#comments")
$title = $a.title
$title = $title -replace ('\[','"')
$title = $title -replace ('\]','"')
$html = New-Object -ComObject "HTMLFile"
$description =  ($a.description.'#cdata-section')
$html.IHTMLDocument2_write($description)
$imglink = $html.body.getelementsbytagname('img')[0].src
$text = $html.body.innertext
$text = $text -replace ('\[','"')
$text = $text -replace ('\]','"')
$text = $text -replace ('Read More\s+')
$text = $text -replace ($title)
$text = $text.replace(" was written by the awesome team at Android Police.","")
$text = $text.trim()
$text = $text + " <a href=$comments>Comments</a>"
$a.pubdate = ("<table width='100%'><tr><td style='font-family: Arial, sans-serif;'><a href=$link><img width=200 align=left src=" + $imglink + "></a><center><h3>" + $title + "</h3></center></td></tr></table><table><tr><td style='font-family: Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13;'>" + $text + "</td></tr></table><hr style='border: 2px solid mintcream;'>")

PowerShell: Gmailing / Emailing Screenshots

I totally scraped the script from AdminAresenal. Kris Powell wrote such a good solution that I lifted it and added a gmailer process. I'm posting this solution in case someone needs to automate emailing of screenshots. The automation component is Task Scheduler.  My scheduled job uses "powershell -executionpolicy unrestricted -windowstyle minimized c:\scripts\screenshots.ps1" so I don't have the PowerShell script window appear in each screenshot.

#Create a timestamp-based BMP filename

$filename = (get-date).tostring().replace('/','.').replace(':','.')

#Create a folder for your outputted screenshots
$File = "c:\scripts\ss\$filename.bmp"

## From the AdminArsenal blog ##
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
Add-type -AssemblyName System.Drawing

# Gather Screen resolution information
$Screen = [System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation]::VirtualScreen
$Width = $Screen.Width
$Height = $Screen.Height
$Left = $Screen.Left
$Top = $Screen.Top

# Create bitmap using the top-left and bottom-right bounds
$bitmap = New-Object System.Drawing.Bitmap $Width, $Height

# Create Graphics object
$graphic = [System.Drawing.Graphics]::FromImage($bitmap)

# Capture screen
$graphic.CopyFromScreen($Left, $Top, 0, 0, $bitmap.Size)

# Save to file
$bitmap.Save($File) 

#Now we send that screenshot via GMail
#Enable "Less Secure Apps" in order to use SMTP via script
$SMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
$SMTPPort = "587"
$Username = "yourgmailaccount@gmail.com"
$Password = "P@$$w0rd"

$to = "addressee@gmail.com"
$cc = "anotherperson@someotherdomain.com"
$subject = "Screenshot taken $filename"
$body = "Screenshot Attachment"
