Function Get-FileHash
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Gets a hash value for the file specified
 
.DESCRIPTION
With this function you can calculate the hash of the contents of a specified file. Hash algorithms supported include SHA1, SHA2 256/348/512, MD5 and RIPEMD160
 
.PARAMETER File
[PIPELINE] File to get hash of.
 
.PARAMETER HashAlgorith
[OPTIONAL] The hash algorithm to use, must be either sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512, md5 or ripemd160
 
.PARAMETER Group
[SWITCH] Group by bytes, by default no grouping and hash returned as single long string. If specified byptes separated by "-"
 
.INPUTS
Accepts strings of paths to files in Pipeline
 
.OUTPUTS
hash of file
 
.EXAMPLE
get-FileHash c:\myfile.txt
Get hash (SHA256) of file, c:\myfile.txt
 
.EXAMPLE
get-FileHash c:\myfile.txt -HashAlgorithm md5
Get md5 hash of file, c:\myfile.txt
 
.EXAMPLE
dir c:\afolder | foreach { $_.fullname} | get-FileHash
get (SHA256) hashes for all files in c:\afolder
