Create Table showing Foldername and Count of files - powershell

Question

I'm trying to create a script that, based on a list of directories, produces a list or table showing 'Folder Name' and 'Count' of files contained within each folder.
I have the following so far:
$folders = #("c:\temp", "C:\temp\tosh")
foreach ($folder in $folders) {
$folderFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $folder -File
$obj = New-Object psobject -Property #{
Folder = $folder
Count = $folderFiles.count
}
$obj | Format-Table
}
This works but produces effectively two tables, one for each folder. I need this as one table but when I try to add another row to the object I get an error that PSObject does not contain a method named 'op_Addition'. I'm sure that I've had a similar result before by adding the $obj object to an array at each iteration similar to this:
$results += $obj
But can't seem to get it working at present. Any advice appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

You need to define $results first as type array and then you can add values to the array. If you don't do so, then $results will be System.Object BaseType and hence the error. Try this.
$folders = #("c:\temp", "C:\temp\tosh")
$results = #()
foreach ($folder in $folders) {
$folderFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $folder -File
$obj = New-Object psobject -Property #{
Folder = $folder
Count = $folderFiles.count
}
$results += $obj
}
$results

Vivek's answer will get you what you're after.
You can simply this further, avoiding the need to initialise an empty array and to use a temporary object. This uses the pscsutomobject type accelerator.
$folders = #("c:\temp", "C:\temp\tosh")
foreach ($folder in $folders) {
[array]$results += [pscustomobject]#{
Folder = $folder
Count = (Get-ChildItem -Path $folder -File).count
}
}
$results
I see that you have$obj | Format-Table in your loop. You could have $results | Format-Table at the end instead.

ls \temp,\temp\tosh\ | group psparentpath | select count,name
