Powershell object where the expanded properties become just properties - powershell

Question

I collect two files that both contain an equal number of strings and am trying to join them into 1 object with each being a named propery.
$Users = Get-content C:\temp\Users.txt
$Languages = Get-content C:\temp\Languages.txt
Using the code below:
$myHashtable = #{
Name = $user
Language = $Languages
}
$myObject = [pscustomobject]$myHashtable
The $myObject looks like
Name Language
--------- -------------
{Todd, Sara, Mike...} {English, Spanish, French...}
Can I adjust my code in so $MyObject outputs the following?
Name Language
--------- -------------
Todd English
Sara Spanish
Mike French

Answer 1

Based on your additional information, you could use:
$Users = Get-content C:\temp\Users.txt
$Languages = Get-content C:\temp\Languages.txt
$MyObjects = $Users | ForEach-Object -Begin {$i=0} -Process {
[PSCustomObject]#{
'Name' = $Users[$i]
'Language' = $Languages[$i++]
}
} -End {}
This is fine for working with the whole collecdtion. If you wanted random access to individual elements, a hashtable keyed on 'Name' might be a better idea:
$Users = Get-content C:\temp\Users.txt
$Languages = Get-content C:\temp\Languages.txt
$MyObjectHashTable = $Users | ForEach-Object -Begin { $hash=#{} ; $i=0 } -Process {
$hash.Add( $Users[$i] , $Languages[$i++] )
} -End { $hash }
