Exporting Object and strings to CSV using Powershell - powershell

Question

The purpose of this code is to transfer files from one location to another and to log whether the transfer was a success or a failure.
Everything works except I am having issues with the log. I want the log to be in CSV format and there to be 3 columns: success/failure, from location, and to location. This is outputting the results all into rows with one column.
I've tried the Export-Csv option but that looks for objects/properties so only displays the length(I have strings too). Add-content works but there is only one column. Any suggestions?
#LOCATION OF CSV
$csv = Import-Csv C:\test2.csv
#SPECIFY DATE (EXAMPLE-DELETE FILES > 7 YEARS. 7 YEARS=2555 DAYS SO YOU WOULD ENTER "-2555" BELOW)
$Daysback = "-1"
#FILE DESTINATION
$storagedestination = "C:\Users\mark\Documents\Test2"
#LOG LOCATION
$loglocation = "C:\Users\mark\Documents\filetransferlog.csv"
$s = "SUCCESS"
$f = "FAIL"
$CurrentDate = Get-Date
foreach ($line in $csv) {
$Path = $line | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName
$DatetoDelete = $CurrentDate.AddDays($DaysBack)
$objects = Get-ChildItem $Path -Recurse | Select-Object FullName, CreationTime, LastWriteTime, LastAccessTime | Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -lt $DatetoDelete }
foreach ($object in $objects) {
try
{
$sourceRoot = $object | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName
Copy-Item -Path $sourceRoot -Recurse -Destination $storagedestination
Remove-Item -Path $sourceRoot -Force -Recurse
$temp = $s, $sourceRoot, $storagedestination
$temp | add-content $loglocation
}
catch
{
$temp2 = $f, $sourceRoot, $storagedestination
$temp2 | add-content $loglocation
}
}
}

All your | Select-Object -ExpandProperty are superfluous, simply attach the property name to the variable name => $Path = $line.FullName
Why calculate $DatetoDelete inside the foreach every time?
Output the success/fail to a [PSCustomObject] and gather them in a variable assigned directly to the foreach.
Untested:
$csv = Import-Csv C:\test2.csv
$Daysback = "-1"
$destination = "C:\Users\mark\Documents\Test2"
$loglocation = "C:\Users\mark\Documents\filetransferlog.csv"
$s = "SUCCESS"
$f = "FAIL"
$CurrentDate = Get-Date
$DatetoDelete = $CurrentDate.Date.AddDays($DaysBack)
$Log = foreach ($line in $csv) {
$objects = Get-ChildItem $line.FullName -Rec |
Where-Object LastWriteTime -lt $DatetoDelete
foreach ($object in $objects) {
$Result = $s
$sourceRoot = $object.FullName
try {
Copy-Item -Path $sourceRoot -Recurse -Destination $destination
Remove-Item -Path $sourceRoot -Recurse -Force
} catch {
$Result = $f
}
[PSCustomObject]#{
'Success/Fail' = $Result
Source = $sourceRoot
Destination = $destination
}
}
}
$Log | Export-Csv $loglocation -NoTypeInformation
