Imagine you opened a number of Web pages in Internet Explorer and would like to keep the display current. Instead of manually reloading these pages in intervals, you can use this script:
function Refresh-WebPages {
param(
$interval = 5
)
"Refreshing IE Windows every $interval seconds."
"Press any key to stop."
param(
$interval = 5
)
"Refreshing IE Windows every $interval seconds."
"Press any key to stop."
$shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
do {
'Refreshing ALL HTML'
$shell.Windows() |
Where-Object { $_.Document.url } |
ForEach-Object { $_.Refresh() }
Start-Sleep -Seconds $interval
} until ( [System.Console]::KeyAvailable )
[System.Console]::ReadKey($true) | Out-Null
}
do {
'Refreshing ALL HTML'
$shell.Windows() |
Where-Object { $_.Document.url } |
ForEach-Object { $_.Refresh() }
Start-Sleep -Seconds $interval
} until ( [System.Console]::KeyAvailable )
[System.Console]::ReadKey($true) | Out-Null
}
It will automatically refresh all opened Internet Explorer pages every five seconds.
