I have an XML file with multiple same-name fields like this:
<XMLDAT>
<Interpret>Crow Jonathan</Interpret>
<Interpret>Mcnabney Douglas</Interpret>
<Interpret>Haimovitz Matt</Interpret>
<Interpret>Sitkovetski Dmitri</Interpret>
</XMLDAT>
I'm trying to split these into a separate variable for each Interpret so I can be able to export it as a CSV file. Ex.
[xml]$XML = Get-Content -Path C:\TestFile.xml
$Interpret = $XML.XMLDAT.Interpret
$interpret1 = ""
$interpret2 = ""
$interpret3 = ""
$interpret4 = ""
$DATACOLLECTION = #()
$DATA = New-Object PSObject
Add-Member -inputObject $DATA -memberType NoteProperty -name "Interpret1" -value $interpret1
Add-Member -inputObject $DATA -memberType NoteProperty -name "Interpret2" -value $interpret2
Add-Member -inputObject $DATA -memberType NoteProperty -name "Interpret3" -value $interpret3
Add-Member -inputObject $DATA -memberType NoteProperty -name "Interpret4" -value $interpret4
$DATACOLLECTION += $DATA
$DATACOLLECTION | Export-Csv -append -path C:\test.csv -NoTypeInformation
I'm not sure how to proceed into splitting these into their own variables.
PowerShell supports multi-target variable assignments:
[xml]$XML = Get-Content -Path C:\TestFile.xml
$interpret1, $interpret2, $interpret3, $interpret4 = $XML.XMLDAT.Interpret
But you don't really need all those variables :)
You could construct the final object by dynamically adding all the "Interpret" node values to a hashtable and then convert that to an object:
[xml]$XML = Get-Content -Path C:\TestFile.xml
$properties = [ordered]#{}
$XML.XMLDAT.Interpret |ForEach-Object -Begin {$number = 1} -Process {
$properties["Interpret$($number++)"] = "$_"
}
#( [pscustomobject]$properties ) |Export-Csv -Append -Path C:\test.csv -NoTypeInformation
Was able to get desired result using this ForEach loop:
ForEach ($Interprets in $Interpret){
$interpret1 = $Interpret[0]
$interpret2 = $Interpret[1]
$interpret3 = $Interpret[2]
$interpret4 = $Interpret[3]
}
I would just do one column with four rows:
$xml.xmldat.interpret | % { [pscustomobject]#{Interpret = $_} }
Interpret
---------
Crow Jonathan
Mcnabney Douglas
Haimovitz Matt
Sitkovetski Dmitri
Powershell script to get Count from SharePoint List
The following code works fine. It grabs data from a SharePoint list "Assignment Status" and display the results in csv file export. I want it to display the count. I was the output to show 2 columns: AssignedToPerson and the Count.
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
#Get the Web
$web = Get-SPWeb -identity "https://dev1.spr.com/sites/tech/"
#Get the Target List
$list = $web.Lists["Pending Assignments"]
#Array to Hold Result - PSObjects
$ListItemCollection = #()
$list.Items | Where-Object { $_["Assignment Status"] -eq "Pending"} | foreach {
$ExportItem = New-Object PSObject

Results should be like the following:
"Jonathan Adams", 3
"Roger Smith", 5
"Candice Matthews", 19
and so on...
Modify the PowerShell as below.

$ItemCount=0;
$TotalCount=0;
$list.Items | Where-Object { $_["Assignment Status"] -eq "Pending"} | foreach {
$ItemCount++
$ExportItem = New-Object PSObject
$ExportItem | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "AssignedPerson" -value $_["AssignedPerson"]
$ExportItem | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "TotalCountofPendingItems" -value $_["Count"]
$TotalCount+=$_["Count"]
#Add the object with property to an Array
$ListItemCollection += $ExportItem
}
$ExportItem = New-Object PSObject

I'm trying to output a custom object to a csv formatted text file as I loop through a for each. One object per line.
But nothing is written to the file.
Is it something with types to be converted ?

For your specific use exporting all objects at once or in batches would be the most efficient, but there are times were it would make sense to export a record one at a time to a CSV file which is what led me to this question, so I want to post my solution.
Use Export-CSV -Append to continually add to the end of a csv file.
foreach ($rechtenhouder in $rechten) {
$objResults = New-Object PSObject -Property #{
DirectoryPath = $objPath;
Identity = $rechtenhouder.name;
Systemrights = $accessRight.FileSystemRights;
systemrightstype = $accessRight.accesscontroltype;
isinherited = $accessRight.isinherited;
inheritanceflags = $accessRight.inheritanceflags;
rulesprotected = $objACL.areaccessrulesprotected;
Adtype = "User";
}
$objResults | Export-CSV $csvPath -Append -NoTypeInformation
}
This is useful if you are continually polling at set time intervals, but less so if you are iterating over a collection of objects, just export them all at once. For example, I would use this method of exporting for a script like below:
while($true){
$procs = Get-Process | Select-Object Name,CPU
$procs | Add-Member -type NoteProperty -Name "Timestamp" -Value $(Get-Date)
$procs | Export-CSV $csvPath -Append -NoTypeInformation
sleep -Seconds 60
}
First, I suggest you to create your object in a decent smarter way:
foreach ($rechtenhouder in $rechten) {
$objResults = New-Object PSObject -Property #{
DirectoryPath = $objPath;
Identity = $rechtenhouder.name;
Systemrights = $accessRight.FileSystemRights;
systemrightstype = $accessRight.accesscontroltype;
isinherited = $accessRight.isinherited;
inheritanceflags = $accessRight.inheritanceflags;
rulesprotected = $objACL.areaccessrulesprotected;
Adtype = "User";
}
$arrResults += $objResults
}
With this done, your $arrResults now contains your objects. This can easily exported to CSV files with PowerShells builtin Export-CSV:
$arrResults | Export-Csv -Path "C:/temp/text.csv"
Using Add-Content on every loop iteration is IMHO ineffective regarding performance. If your script runs for a long time and you want to save your current state in intervals, you could e.g. start an asynchronous job - let's say every 10th iteration - exporting your current array:
$i = 0
foreach ($rechtenhouder in $rechten) {
$objResults = New-Object PSObject -Property #{
DirectoryPath = $objPath;
Identity = $rechtenhouder.name;
Systemrights = $accessRight.FileSystemRights;
systemrightstype = $accessRight.accesscontroltype;
isinherited = $accessRight.isinherited;
inheritanceflags = $accessRight.inheritanceflags;
rulesprotected = $objACL.areaccessrulesprotected;
Adtype = "User";
}
$arrResults += $objResults
if ($i % 10 -eq 0) {
Start-Job -ScriptBlock {
param($T, $Path)
$T | Export-Csv -Path $Path
} -ArgumentList #($arrTest, "Path/to/script")
}
$i++
}
I have a custom PS Object that is something like the below:
ID Folder
MyServer01 \\Server\Share\Share\MyServer01
MyServer02 \\Server\Share\Share\MyServer02
Naturally the object itself is rather large, with over 1000 entries. I need to be able to select a specific row of the object based on querying the ID.
I thought something like this would work but I'm not having much luck:
$obj | Select-Object | Where-Object ($_.ID -eq "MyServer01")
I need it to return the entire row, so the above (assuming it worked) would return:
MyServer01 \\Server\Share\Share\MyServer01
EDIT:
foreach ($mf in $Folders.Tables[0]) {
$Info = New-Object System.Object
$Info | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name ID -Value $mf.ID
$Info | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name Folder -Value $mf.Folder
$obj += $Info
}
Use a hashtable for storing your objects:
$obj = #{}
foreach ($mf in $Folders.Tables[0]) {
$Info = New-Object -Type System.Object
$Info | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name ID -Value $mf.ID
$Info | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name Folder -Value $mf.Folder
$obj[$mf.ID] = $Info
}
Don't append to an array in a loop, as that tends to perform poorly.
If your code doesn't depend on the objects being created explicitly as System.Object I'd also recommend to create them as custom objects:
$obj = #{}
foreach ($mf in $Folders.Tables[0]) {
$Info = New-Object -Type PSCustomObject -Property #{
'ID' = $mf.ID
'Folder' = $mf.Folder
}
$obj[$mf.ID] = $Info
}
I have written the following PowerShell script for getting disk space information for servers in our environment.
$servers = Get-Content E:\POC.txt
$array = #()
foreach($server in $servers){
$sysinfo = Get-WmiObject Win32_Volume -ComputerName $server
for($i = 0;$i -lt $sysinfo.Count; $i++){
$sname = $sysinfo[$i].SystemName
$servername = $server
$label = $sysinfo[$i].Label
if(($label) -and (!($label.Contains("FILLER")))){
write-host "Processing $label from $server"
$name = $sysinfo[$i].Name
$capacity = [math]::round(($sysinfo[$i].Capacity/1GB),2)
$fspace = [math]::round(($sysinfo[$i].FreeSpace/1GB),2)
$sused = [math]::round((($sysinfo[$i].Capacity - $sysinfo[$i].FreeSpace)/1GB),2)
$fspacepercent = [math]::Round((($sysinfo[$i].FreeSpace*100)/$sysinfo[$i].Capacity),2)
$obj = New-Object PSObject
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "SystemName" -Value $sname
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "ServerName" -Value $server
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Label" -Value $label
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Name" -Value $name
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Capacity(GB)" -Value $capacity
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "FreeSpace(GB)" -Value $fspace
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Used(GB)" -Value $sused
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "FreeSpace%" -Value $fspacepercent
$array += $obj
}
}
$array += write-output " "
$totalSize = ($array | Measure-Object 'Capacity(GB)' -Sum).Sum
$array += $totalsize
$array += write-output " "
}
$filename = "E:\VolumeReport.csv"
$array | Export-CSV $filename -NoTypeInformation
One additional requirement here is to get the sum of the columns for Capacity, Size and Freespace for each server. I tried using Measure-Object but no success.
No values are getting outputted here. Just blank. Please look into this and kindly assist.
Let try this on for size shall we.
$servers = Get-Content E:\POC.txt
$propertyOrdered = "SystemName","ServerName","Label","Name","Capacity(GB)","FreeSpace(GB)","Used(GB)","FreeSpace%"
$filename = "C:\temp\VolumeReport.csv"
('"{0}"' -f ($propertyOrdered -join '","')) | Set-Content $filename
foreach($server in $servers){
$sysinfo = Get-WmiObject Win32_Volume -ComputerName $server
$serverDetails = #()
for($i = 0;$i -lt $sysinfo.Count; $i++){
$sname = $sysinfo[$i].SystemName
$servername = $server
$label = $sysinfo[$i].Label
if(($label) -and (!($label.Contains("FILLER")))){
write-host "Processing $label from $server"
$name = $sysinfo[$i].Name
$capacity = [math]::round(($sysinfo[$i].Capacity/1GB),2)
$fspace = [math]::round(($sysinfo[$i].FreeSpace/1GB),2)
$sused = [math]::round((($sysinfo[$i].Capacity - $sysinfo[$i].FreeSpace)/1GB),2)
$fspacepercent = [math]::Round((($sysinfo[$i].FreeSpace*100)/$sysinfo[$i].Capacity),2)
$props = #{
"SystemName" = $sname
"ServerName" = $server
"Label" = $label
"Name" = $name
"Capacity(GB)" = $capacity
"FreeSpace(GB)" = $fspace
"Used(GB)" = $sused
"FreeSpace%" = $fspacepercent
}
# Build this server object.
$serverDetails += New-Object PSObject -Property $props
}
}
# Output current details to file.
$serverDetails | Select $propertyOrdered | ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation | Select-Object -Skip 1 | Add-Content $filename
#Calculate Totals and append to file.
$totals = '"","","","Totals",{0},{1},{2},""' -f ($serverDetails | Measure-Object -Property "Capacity(GB)" -Sum).Sum,
($serverDetails | Measure-Object -Property "FreeSpace(GB)" -Sum).Sum,
($serverDetails | Measure-Object -Property "Used(GB)" -Sum).Sum
$totals | Add-Content $filename
}
Part of the issue here is that you were mixing object output and static string output which most likely would have been holding you back. I tidied up the object generation in a way that should be 2.0 compliant. Not that what you were going was wrong in anyway but this is a little more pleasing to the eye then all the Add-Members
I removed $array since it did not have a place anymore since the logic here is constantly output data to the output file as supposed to storing it temporarily.
For every $server we build an array of disk information in the variable $serverDetails. Once all the disks have been calculated (using your formulas still) we then create a totals line. You were not really clear on how you wanted your output so I guessed. The above code should net output like the following. (It looks a lot nicer in Excel or in a csv aware reader. )
"SystemName","ServerName","Label","Name","Capacity(GB)","FreeSpace(GB)","Used(GB)","FreeSpace%"
"server01","server01","System Reserved","\\?\Volume{24dbe945-3ea6-11e0-afbd-806e6f6e6963}\","0.1","0.07","0.03","71.85"
"","","","Totals",0.1,0.07,0.03,""
"server02","server02","System Reserved","\\?\Volume{24dbe945-3ea6-11e0-afbd-806e6f6e6963}\","0.1","0.07","0.03","69.27"
