Very nice.

Thanks for your job.

It would be so nice to show us how you compile your xml file from adblock plus filter list.

What script to execute into PowerShell ?

Thank you.

Sorry, missed your post. Theres was something missing in the original one (highlighted in red). It should be:

Get-Content input.txt | foreach { $_ = $_.trim(); $_ } | foreach { 
$_ = @"
<item>
    <description>$_</description>
    <wf:blockRegex>
        <![CDATA[$_]]>
    </wf:blockRegex>
<[COLOR="Red"]/[/COLOR]item>
"@; $_ } | foreach { Add-Content output.txt $_ }

Found out the hard way 1st time I ran it
I've been reading all the powershell tutorials on technet, its quite a very useful tool

Thanks again for this, I've been telling some associates.

You're welcome

It's amazing!

And I never make mistakes! You just made that up!





Actually looking at it again the first foreach block could probably be shortened to

foreach { $_.trim() }

If the result of a method isn't assigned to anything, it gets dumped out to the pipeline anyway - no need to assign it to $_ just to dump it again.

I don't suppose this has been updated to take care of the hotmail adds since the face lift that happened today?

I am sure it wont be long before the adblock subs get updated.

I modified it and it works, thx

I just checked it, even with the facelift, the ads are still blocked

Thanks to all involved!

Updated to work with IE9 as well

 

[Destination]

Thanks very much for keeping this up to date.

I keep getting a page that simply says DNS Error when I try to download any of the filters. Any ideas as to what's going on?

 

[Temi_D]

I checked the links and they still work. Are you sure its just not blocked where you are?

 

[Scorpio.RGc1]

Could be, I suppose. Odd considering I use Office/SkyDrive's online storage myself, but I think I might know what's going on (I think my security software is the culprit). Hopefully it'll work.

Good stuff thanks for posting this...!!

Can I use this in Opera? Dump these entries into the urlfilter.ini ?

 

[Temi_D]

Heres the one you can use for opera: https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/opera/urlfilter.ini

 

[Scorpio.RGc1]

I forgot to come back and say I got it all sorted out (it seems Comodo's DNS service was the culprit). Everything's working as intended now.

Thanks for the continued updates!
