fix for • symbol

[Zephyrusg]

I experience that the function get-wgpackege fails with wingit id "putty.putty"

This happens because of the release notes that are in the winget package.
The release notes contain the • symbol what powershell replace with 'ÔÇó'

So, I added an extra replace step to change the 'ÔÇó' to another readable symbol *.

Now the regex in the convert private function takes the right lines and the convertfrom-yaml is working again.

I still get errors, so I'll keep looking at this.

What culture are you running under?

[Zephyrusg]

@jdhitsolutions I running this on a Windows 11 Dev channel on PWS 7.2.6 with culture EN-GB.

But my powershell isn't so sure about that:

Get-Culture | fl *

Parent :
LCID : 127
KeyboardLayoutId : 127
Name :
IetfLanguageTag :
DisplayName : Invariant Language (Invariant Country)
NativeName : Invariant Language (Invariant Country)
EnglishName : Invariant Language (Invariant Country)
TwoLetterISOLanguageName : iv
ThreeLetterISOLanguageName : ivl
ThreeLetterWindowsLanguageName : IVL

I just published v1.6.0 to the PowerShell Gallery. Update the module and try the putty package again. It works now for me.

@jdhitsolutions Thz for pushing it to the PSGallery.
It also works for me on Pws 5.1 and 7. 👍

Hello!

Get-WGPackage did only work for me with these modifications in line 53-54 in the Get-WGpackage.ps1 script, because my profile path has a space:

$winget = "'" + (Get-WGPath | out-string).Trim() + "'"
$cmdText = "& "
$cmdText += "$winget show --source $source"

In addition i had to modify the lines 23-24 in private.ps1 for the _convert function because of german OS/WinGet, so that putty also works, sadly the replace with '*' didn't work for the german version:

$i = $list.FindIndex({ $args[0] -match "^Versionshinweise:" })
$j = $list.FindIndex({ $args[0] -match "^Installationsprogramm:" })
