i'd like to automate some processes, basically run some tools, click the menu, select from dropdownlist, then copy and paste to a notepad.exe application to save as a txt file -- all in windows.
however my company environment probably won't allow installation.
so i'm wondering, if it's possible to write a powershell script for that?
or, if there's any green software that needs no instalation? best if it's open-sourced.
Depending on the complexity of what you really want to do, there is a Windows Automation Snapin (WASP) for PowerShell. Some usage examples here. I've used it myself for simple tasks and it works quite well.
