I would like to get each independent user details like STATE, USERNAME, ID details. I tried below code but it is not giving any data
foreach($proc in $dat) {
$proc.STATE # This is not working this command not giving any data.
$proc.ID # This is not working this command not giving any data.
}
Please help me on this.
The result of $dat.GetType() is:
IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
True True String System.Object

Answer 1

This is very similar to this StackOverflow post, but you have blank fields in your data.
One solution is to deal with this first. Example below but this may break given data that is very different to your example. For a more robust and complete solution see Matt's comment
# replace 20 spaces or more with TWO commas, because it signifies a missing field
$dat2 = $dat.Trim() -replace '\s{20,}', ',,'
# replace 2 spaces or more with a single comma
$datTable = $dat2.Trim() -replace '\s{2,}', ',,'
foreach($proc in $datTable) {
$proc.STATE
$proc.ID
}

Another option is to use fixed Columns with string.Insert , like this:
$content = quser /server:$SERVER
$columns = 14,42,46,54,65 | Sort -Descending
$Delimiter = ','
$dat = $content | % {
$line = $_
$columns | % {
$line = $line.Insert($_, $Delimiter)
}
$line -replace '\s'
} |
ConvertFrom-Csv -Delimiter $Delimiter
And Then:
foreach($proc in $dat) {
$proc.STATE
$proc.ID # Will show the relevant Data
}
