PowerShell 技能连载 - 自动找借口的脚本

译者注：您没有看错！这是近期最邪恶的一个技巧，文末有译者机器上的实验效果。

厌倦了每次自己想蹩脚的借口？以下脚本能让您每调用一次 Get-Excuse 就得到一个新的接口！您所需的一切只是 Internet 连接：

function Get-Excuse
{
  $url = 'http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ballard/bofh/bofhserver.pl'
  $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
  $page = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -UseBasicParsing
  $pattern = '<br><font size = "\+2">(.+)'

  if ($page.Content -match $pattern)
  {
    $matches[1]
  }
}

如果您需要通过代理服务器或者身份认证来访问 Internet，那么请查看函数中 Invoke-WebRequest 的参数。您可以通过它提交代理服务器信息，例如身份验证信息。

译者注：以下是 Get-Excuse 为笔者找的“借口”，很有创意吧 ;-)
