PowerShell Fortune Cookie

Ahead of writing a post about writing a fortune cookie cmdlet in C#, I wanted to post the simplest possible implementation in PowerShell first.

Get-FortuneCookie.ps1

[CmdletBinding()]
Param (

    [Parameter()]
    [string]$Path = '<Default Path>\fortunes.txt'

)

$CookieJar = Get-Content $Path -Encoding UTF8 -Delimiter '%'

$Cookie =  Get-Random -InputObject $CookieJar
$Cookie = $Cookie -replace '%', ''

Write-Output $Cookie
