VB Script - help fixing or converting to powershel

Post by virtuallynothere »

Hey Folks,
I am searching for some help on converting a vb script to powershell or just modifying the script so that it will do a couple more things.
I found the vbscript below online and it creates a file that I can import into this visionapp rdp application. The script reads a text file with a list of servernames, then it creates the file as shown in the script and I can import that to the app.
I need to have the script read an excel sheet or csv file though as I need to have more values specified, I need to specify a connectionname, servername, description, and folder name.
Can anyone assist? I appreciate it!

To clarify, the above script creates the file correctly, but it only reads a text file that has a single attribute specified.
What would I have to do and how in order to have this script read an excel or csv file so that I can specify more attributes that would get filled in when the file is generated by the script? The strings I need to specify are connectionname, servername, description, and folder.
