Let's strike chaos

A small change in the XaosCPS script to get karma.

$user = ([xml](new-object system.net.WebClient -prop @{encoding=[System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8}).DownloadString("http://habrahabr.ru/api/profile/XaocCPS")).habrauser
Write-Host "$($user.login) - : $($user.karma), : $($user.rating)"


Just to illustrate as much as possible:

• We initialize the encoding property directly in the call parameters of the New-Object. Please note that the name of the -properties parameter is not necessary to write completely, as long as there is no other parameter starting with the same letters.
• The reduction to the XML type is performed using the [xml] line before the expression, and not before the variable - just to get to the necessary data immediately, and not to repeat the path afterwards
• Formatting by inserting subexpressions into a string - so we have a primitive template divider in PowerShell right out of the box
