[New App Request] Scientific Word (On Proposals list)

[AScott-WWF]

N.B. Scientific Word (from https://www.sciword.co.uk) appears to be a paid product version of the now open source original code found here: https://github.com/ScientificWord/sciword However, the zip file linked on the GitHub repo above to: https://www.mackichan.com/techtalk/v60/SciWord.zip does not respond.

TBH, I feel slightly concerned if NeverGreen should host this (Unsure if my choice of $ReleaseURL is the correct URL?)

Anyhow here's my Script:

# Get-ScientificWord.ps1

# Define AppName
$AppName = "Scientific Word"

$ReleaseUrl = "https://www.sciword.co.uk/download.htm#step1"
$InstallInstructionsUrl = "https://www.sciword.co.uk/pdfs/v6.0Installation.pdf"

Write-Verbose "Obtaining $($AppName) Release Versions from $($ReleaseUrl)...`n"

# Main script to fetch and process links
$AppVersions = @(
    @{AppName = $($AppName); Ring = '6'; Type = 'exe'; Pattern = 'sw-\d+\.\d+\.\d+-windows-installer\.exe'}
    @{AppName = "$($AppName) Workplace"; Ring = '6'; Type = 'exe'; Pattern = 'swp-\d+\.\d+\.\d+-windows-installer\.exe'}
    @{AppName = "$($AppName) Notebook"; Ring = '6'; Type = 'exe'; Pattern = 'snb-\d+\.\d+\.\d+-windows-installer\.exe'}
    @{AppName = $($AppName); Ring = '5'; Type = 'exe'; Pattern = 'sciword\d+\.exe'; VersionPattern = 'Scientific Word (\d\.\d) \('}
    @{AppName = "$($AppName) Workplace"; Ring = '5'; Type = 'exe'; Pattern = 'swp-pro\d+\.exe'; VersionPattern = 'Scientific Workplace (\d\.\d) \('}
    @{AppName = "$($AppName) Notebook"; Ring = '5'; Type = 'exe'; Pattern = 'scinoteb\d+\.exe'; VersionPattern = 'Scientific Notebook (\d\.\d) \('}
)

foreach ($AppVersion in $AppVersions) {
    $SearchCount = 1 # This may need increasing as future versions are released

    #Build each link with File Type specific versions
    $URL = Get-Link -Uri $ReleaseUrl -MatchProperty href -Pattern $AppVersion.Pattern
    if ($AppVersion.Ring -eq '6') {
        [version]$Version = Get-Version -String $URL
    } else {
        [version]$Version = Get-Version -Uri $ReleaseUrl -Pattern $AppVersion.VersionPattern
    }

    do {
        if ($URL) {
            New-NevergreenApp -Name $($AppVersion.AppName) -Version $($Version) -Ring $($AppVersion.Ring) -Uri $($URL) -Architecture 'multi' -Type $($AppVersion.Type)
            break
        }

        $SearchCount--
    } until ($SearchCount -eq 0)

    if ($SearchCount -eq 0) {
        Write-Warning "Could not find release for $($AppName) $($AppVersion.Type)"
    }
}

$ReleaseNotesUrl = "https://www.sciword.co.uk/v6-0.htm"
Write-Verbose "$($AppName) Release notes are available here: $($ReleaseNotesUrl)"
Write-Verbose "$($AppName) Install instructions are available here: $($InstallInstructionsUrl)"
