search csv for multiple strings in column a in powershell - powershell

Question

I have a sample.csv file
#Period,Account,Entity,Year,Version,Currency,HSP_Rates,Scenario,Data
Apr,1,9,FY22,F,L,H,And,2
Apr,1,9,FY22,F,L,H,And,2
Apr,1,9,FY22,F,L,H,OR,2
here i want to get output csv file where scenario only equals to AND
#Period,Account,Entity,Year,Version,Currency,HSP_Rates,Scenario,Data
Apr,1,9,FY22,F,L,H,And,2
Apr,1,9,FY22,F,L,H,And,2
i have written code which is not giving required output
$csvRaw = Get-Content -Path 'D:\sample.csv' -Raw
$Csv = $CsvRaw.TrimStart('#') | ConvertFrom-Csv
$NewCsv = $csv | ForEach-Object {
[PsCustomObject]#{
Period = $_.Period
Account = $_.Account
Entity = $_.Entity
Year = $_.Year
Version = $_.Version
Currency = $_.Currency
HSP_Rates = $_.HSP_Rates
Scenario = $_.Scenario | where {$_.Scenario -match "And" }
Data = $_.Data
} }
$OutCsv = ($NewCsv | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation).TrimStart('"#')
# Converting back to CSV surround everything with double quotes. # We need to insert back the hash sign for the #period header$OutCsv[0] = """#" + $OutCsv[0]
$OutCsv | Out-File 'D:\sample_1.csv'

Answer 1

It looks like a syntax issue in the construction of the [PSCustomObject].
Try replacing:
$NewCsv = $csv | ForEach-Object {
[PsCustomObject]#{
Period = $_.Period
Account = $_.Account
Entity = $_.Entity
Year = $_.Year
Version = $_.Version
Currency = $_.Currency
HSP_Rates = $_.HSP_Rates
Scenario = $_.Scenario | where {$_.Scenario -match "And" }
Data = $_.Data
} }
With:
$NewCsv = $csv | ForEach-Object {
[PsCustomObject]#{
Period = $_.Period
Account = $_.Account
Entity = $_.Entity
Year = $_.Year
Version = $_.Version
Currency = $_.Currency
HSP_Rates = $_.HSP_Rates
Scenario = $_.Scenario
Data = $_.Data
} } | Where { $_.Scenario -match "And" }
Which - as Theo commented - is basically the same as:
$NewCsv = $csv | Where { $_.Scenario -match "And" }
Also, if you're using Powershell 6+, you may take advantage of the -UseQuotes parameter from the ConvertTo-CSV cmdlet to remove the quotes from the output.
