Embed a picture <img> in convertto-html

[timgerr]

Hello all,
I was wondering if I could embed a picture from a url in a ps1 script. I want to use Google graphing api, so I want to embed this graph

[URL unfurl="true"]http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=250x100&chd=t:60,40&cht=p3&chl=Hello|World[/URL]

like this

$filelocation = "C:\testscript\pwrshl\asshat.html"
$a = @("Rim","Rob")
$s = "" | Select f, l, e
$s.f = "Tim" 
$s.l = "Gallagher"
$s.e = "tim@g.com"
$s1 = "" | Select f, l, e
$s1.f = "Michelle"
$s1.l = "Gallagher"
$s1.e = "Michelle@danati.com"
$a = @()

$a += $s
$a += $s1

$a | Select-Object |   ConvertTo-Html  -Title "Services" -Body "<H2>My Array</H2> "  -head "<linkrel='stylesheet' href='asshat.css' type='text/css' />" | Out-File -Append $filelocation
ConvertTo-Html  -Title "Services" -Body "<img [URL unfurl="true"]http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=250x100&chd=t:60,40&cht=p3&chl=Hello|World[/URL] />" | Out-File -Append $filelocation

Thanks for the help,

Are you getting errors when you try to do this? Or what kind of problem are you having with it?

Sorry I have been out, I just want to insert this png into a html file from Powershell.

First, I'd upgrade to PowerShell v2. They've added some parameters to ConvertTo-HTML that make this a little easier. Your example then becomes:

$filelocation = "C:\temp\test.html"

$chart1 = @"
<img src="[URL unfurl="true"]http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=250x100&chd=t:60,40&cht=p3&chl=Hello|World">[/URL]
"@

$a = @()
$s = "" | Select-Object f, l, e
$s.f = "Tim"
$s.l = "Gallagher"
$s.e = "tim@g.com"
$a += $s

$s = "" | Select-Object f, l, e
$s.f = "Michelle"
$s.l = "Gallagher"
$s.e = "michelle@danati.com"
$a += $s

$a | ConvertTo-Html -Title "Services" -Body "<H2>My Array</H2>" -CssUri "style1.css" -PostContent $chart1 | Out-File $filelocation

Doing it in v1 would probably involve constructing several strings and outputting them, or would require editing the HTML file after the fact to remove some extraneous code if you used multiple ConvertTo-HTML statements.
