Upgrade with Winget being able to select list of software to skip

WingetUpgrade.ps1

class Software {
    [string]$Name

    [string]$AvailableVersion

$upgradeResult = winget upgrade | Out-String

$lines = $upgradeResult.Split([Environment]::NewLine)


# Find the line that starts with Name, it contains the header
$fl = 0
while (-not $lines[$fl].StartsWith("Name"))
{
    $fl++
}

# Line $i has the header, we can find char where we find ID and Version
$idStart = $lines[$fl].IndexOf("Id")
$versionStart = $lines[$fl].IndexOf("Version")
$availableStart = $lines[$fl].IndexOf("Available")
$sourceStart = $lines[$fl].IndexOf("Source")

# Now cycle in real package and split accordingly
$upgradeList = @()
For ($i = $fl + 1; $i -le $lines.Length; $i++) 
{
    $line = $lines[$i]
    if ($line.Length -gt ($availableStart + 1) -and -not $line.StartsWith('-'))
    {
        $name = $line.Substring(0, $idStart).TrimEnd()
        $id = $line.Substring($idStart, $versionStart - $idStart).TrimEnd()
        $version = $line.Substring($versionStart, $availableStart - $versionStart).TrimEnd()
        $available = $line.Substring($availableStart, $sourceStart - $availableStart).TrimEnd()
        $software = [Software]::new()

        $software.Id = $id;
        $software.Version = $version
        $software.AvailableVersion = $available;

        $upgradeList += $software
    }
}


$upgradeList | Format-Table

$toSkip = @(
'ArtifexSoftware.GhostScript',
'Microsoft.VC++2013Redist-x64',
'MongoDB.Server',
"Microsoft.VC++2015-2019Redist-x64",
"Microsoft.VC++2015-2019Redist-x86",
"Microsoft.VC++2013Redist-x86",
"Microsoft.OneDrive")

foreach ($package in $upgradeList) 
{
    if (-not ($toSkip -contains $package.Id)) 
    {
        Write-Host "Going to upgrade package $($package.id)"
        & winget upgrade $package.id
    }
    else 
    {    
        Write-Host "Skipped upgrade to package $($package.id)"
    }
}

Thanks so much @geraldodinukwe80, I'll come up with a more universal solution, I think we can just check that the current line has ID and current version, and that those values aren't empty.

Feel free to post modification here I'll update the script.

Hi

I did add language support and logging.
Now it works on both English and German.

Getting the winget list

$upgradeResult = winget upgrade | Out-String
$lines = $upgradeResult.Split([Environment]::NewLine)

==============================================

Find the line that starts with Name, it contains the header

$fl = 0
while (-not $lines[$fl].StartsWith("Name"))
{
$fl++
}

==============================================

Get languge

$Lang = Get-WinSystemLocale | select -ExpandProperty name

IF( $lang -eq "en-US"){

English

Write-Host ("Language is English - " + $lang)

# $Lines has the header, where we can find the character Id, Available, Version and Source

$idStart = $lines[$fl].IndexOf("Id")
$versionStart = $lines[$fl].IndexOf("Version")

German

Write-Host ("Sprache ist Deutsch - " + $lang)

# $Lines has the header, where we can find the GERMAN character ID, Version, Verfügbar and Quelle

$versionStart = $lines[$fl].IndexOf("Version")
$availableStart = $lines[$fl].IndexOf("Verfügbar")
$sourceStart = $lines[$fl].IndexOf("Quelle")

}

==============================================

Now cycle in real package and split accordingly

$upgradeList = @()
For ($i = $fl + 1; $i -le $lines.Length; $i++)
{
$line = $lines[$i]
if ($line.Length -gt ($availableStart + 1) -and -not $line.StartsWith('-'))

i've edited the script. It should work no matter the language and also is bit shorter

I have just discovered that there is a gist for this.. Oh well.. anyhow, i've modified it a bit, fixing that truncation issue & added grid view for package selection https://gist.github.com/inxomnyaa/0ee29d68a6b4c92ba53810828dbc0f4a
