Search and find data from CSV based on Criteria - powershell

Question

I am creating powershell script to create skype for business user account.
I am trying to find the avaialble number from CSV file which looks for Status, Business Unit and location to find correct LineUri to be used.
I am using following code which always use the first SPARE number and doesn't validate the location and business unit to find the line uri.
$path = Split-Path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
$newpath = $path + "\PhoneData.csv"
$LineUri = #()
$Status = #()
$BusinessUnit = #()
$Location = #()
$csv = Import-Csv $newpath -Delimiter ","
$csv |`
ForEach-Object {
$LineUri += $_.LineUri
$Status += $_.Status
$BusinessUnit +=$_.BusinessUnit
$Location +=$_.Location
}
$currentStatus = "Spare"
$userBusinessUnit = "Support"
$userLocation = "WA"
if ($Status -eq $currentStatus -And $BusinessUnit -eq $userBusinessUnit -And $Location -eq $userLocation )
{
$Where = [array]::IndexOf($Status, $currentStatus)
$AvailableURI = $LineUri[$Where]
#Write-Host "Next Uri Available: " $LineUri[$Where]
$changeWhere = [array]::IndexOf($LineUri, $AvailableURI)
#Write-Host "Next Uri Available: " $Status[$changeWhere]
Try
{
Enable-CsUser -identity sudip.sapkota -RegistrarPool "s4b-fe01.tapes.com" -SipAddressType SamAccountName -sipdomain "tapes.com"
Set-CsUser -Identity sudip.sapkota -EnterpriseVoiceEnabled $true -LineURI $AvailableURI
Grant-CsDialPlan -Identity sudip.sapkota -PolicyName 'DialPlan'
Grant-CsVoicePolicy -Identity sudip.sapkota -PolicyName 'My VoicePolicy'
Write-Host "[INFO]`t Lync Enterprise account for user sudip.sapkota has been created with sip : $AvailableURI" -ForegroundColor "Green"
"[INFO]`t Lync Enterprise account for user sudip.sapkota has been created with sip : $AvailableURI" | Out-File $log -append
$i = $changeWhere
$csv[$i].Status = 'Used'
$csv | Export-Csv -Path $newpath -NoTypeInformation
Write-Host "[INFO]`t PhoneData CSV has been updated" -ForegroundColor "Green"
"[INFO]`t PhoneData CSV has been updated" | Out-File $log -append
}
catch
{
Write-Host "[ERROR]`t Oops, something went wrong: $($_.Exception.Message)`r`n" -ForegroundColor "Red"
"[WARNING]`t Oops, something went wrong: $($_.Exception.Message)" | Out-File $log -append
}
}
else
{
Enable-CsUser -identity sudip.sapkota -RegistrarPool "s4b-fe01.tapes.net" -SipAddressType SamAccountName -sipdomain "tapes.net"
Write-Host "[INFO]`t No Spare LineURI, user has been created as PC-to-PC only" -ForegroundColor "Yellow"
"[INFO]`t No Spare LineURI, user has been created as PC-to-PC only" | Out-File $log -append
}
My CSV looks like this.
Name LineUri Status BusinessUnit Location
Test 1 tel:[phone];ext=6100 Spare Sales VIC
Test 2 tel:[phone];ext=6101 Spare Sales VIC
Test 2 tel:[phone];ext=6102 Used Sales NSW
Test 2 tel:[phone];ext=6103 Spare Support WA
Test 2 tel:[phone];ext=6104 Spare Support WA
Test 2 tel:[phone];ext=6105 Used Action VIC
Test 2 tel:[phone];ext=6106 Spare Suppot VIC
Test 2 tel:[phone];ext=6107 Spare Action VIC
Can someone help to find my mistake?
As I am manually feeding the input, the test input are
$currentStatus = "Spare"
$userBusinessUnit = "Support"
$userLocation = "WA"
So I need to find the LineURI which is SPARE, whose location is WA and whose BusinessUnit is Support.
I should get tel:[phone];ext=6103 as LineURI

I reworked your logic a bit. I felt that you could do all of this inside the foreach loop. For clarity, this does gather the data in the loop and then leaves you with an array to work with. You could just nest your actions inside the loop directly and break out or you could keep it like this and just execute your work against the array item after.
# Array of spare numbers that meet your criteria
$firstAvailableSpare
# criteria
$currentStatus = "Spare"
$userBusinessUnit = "Support"
$userLocation = "WA"
$csv |`
ForEach-Object {
$LineUri += $_.LineUri
$Status += $_.Status
$BusinessUnit +=$_.BusinessUnit
$Location +=$_.Location
$currentStatus = "Spare"
$userBusinessUnit = "Support"
$userLocation = "WA"
if ( ($_.Status -eq $currentStatus) -And ($_.BusinessUnit -eq $userBusinessUnit) -And ($_.Location -eq $userLocation) ) {
$firstAvailableSpare = $_ # Assign the first
$_.Status = "Used"
continue # break the loop so we don't get additional hits
}
}
$csv | Export-Csv -Path $newpath -NoTypeInformation
$firstAvailableSpare # <-- your first available spare
$firstAvailableSpare.LineUri # <-- the URI you want
edit 1: Updated for CSV export requirement
edit 2: Changed break to continue. WARNING: For some reason this breaks the ISE's debugging functionality. Stepping will cease and future break points will be ignored. I don't know why this is but it is out of scope for your goal.
