I've built the following PowerShell script and it doesn't seem to work:
"\\example\examplepath\" | % { $_ | select name, #{n="lines"; e={ get-content
$_.FullName | measure-object -line | Select -expand lines } } } | ft -
Autosize | Out-file c:\counts\result.csv
The script is supposed to get a line count for each file and output them to a CSV. Admittedly there around 140,000 files in the folder. Any ideas?
You are missing the Get-ChildItem cmdlet to retrieve all files. The Foreach-Object (%) cmdlet is obsolete here so I removed it. I also removed the Format-Table cmdlet because you are piping the result to Out-File:
Get-ChildItem "\\example\examplepath\" |
Select-Object name, #{n="lines"; e={ get-content $_.FullName | measure-object -line | Select-Object -expand lines } } |
Out-file c:\counts\result.csv

I'm a bit new to PowerShell. I have a working script returning -Line, -Character and -Word to a csv file. I can't figure out how to add the full name of the file into the csv.
get-childitem -recurse -Path C:\Temp\*.* | foreach-object { $name = $_.FullName; get-content $name | Measure-Object -Line -Character -Word} | Export-Csv -Path C:\Temp\FileAttributes.csv
I've tried using Write-Host and Select-Object, but I'm not sure about the syntax.
I've been using the following as a reference.
Results
This is what I'm after
Use Select-Object with a calculated property:
Get-Childitem -recurse -Path C:\Temp\*.* | ForEach-Object {
$fullName = $_.FullName
Get-Content $fullName | Measure-Object -Line -Character -Word |
Select-Object #{ Name = 'FullName'; Expression={ $fullName } }, *
} | Export-Csv -Path C:\Temp\FileAttributes.csv
Note:
Pass -ExcludeProperty Property to Select-Object to omit the empty Property column.
Pass -NoTypeInformation to Export-Csv to suppress the virtually useless first line (the type annotation) in the CSV.
So I'm trying to export a list of resources without the headers. Basically I need to omit line 1, "Name".
Here is my current code:
Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails RoomMailbox,EquipmentMailbox | Select-Object Name | Export-Csv -Path "$(get-date -f MM-dd-yyyy)_Resources.csv" -NoTypeInformation
I've looked at several examples and things to try, but haven't quite gotten anything to work that still only lists the resource names.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
It sounds like you basically want just text a file list of the names:
Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails RoomMailbox,EquipmentMailbox |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name |
Set-Content -Path "$(get-date -f MM-dd-yyyy)_Resources.txt"
Edit: if you really want an export-csv without a header row:
(Get-Mailbox -RecipientTypeDetails RoomMailbox,EquipmentMailbox |
Select-Object Name |
ConvertTo-Csv -NoTypeInformation) |
Select-Object -Skip 1 |
Set-Content -Path "$(get-date -f MM-dd-yyyy)_Resources.csv"
Powershell 7 is out now. Still no way to export-csv without headers. I get it. Technically it wouldn't be a CSV without a header row.
But I need to remove the header row, so
$obj | convertto-csv | select-object -skip 1 |out-file 'output.csv'
P.S. I didn't need the quotes and I wanted to filter out rows based on a certain property value:
$obj | where-object {$_.<whatever property> -eq 'X' } | convertto-csv -usequotes never | select-object -skip 1 |out-file 'output.csv'
I have a script that filters my logs, but the problem is that when I would like to delete everything else but certain files I get errors of Unrecognized escape sequence. I've been trying to split the values but it seems that nothing works. I also tried -exclude before, but didn't get it to work. It's supposed to remove all the other files but $result and $clr.
$files = #()
[xml]$photonconfig = Get-Content C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\PhotonServer.config
$photonconfig.SelectNodes("Configuration/*") | Select-Object -Expand Name | % {
$_.Replace("xxx","")
} | ForEach {
$files+= Get-ChildItem C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\log\log/*$_*.log |
sort -Property LastWriteTime -Descending |
Select-Object -First 3
}
$result = $files | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending |
Select-Object -First 3
$clr = "PhotonCLR.log"
$all = Get-ChildItem C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\log\log/* |
Where-Object { $_.Name -notmatch $result } |
Remove-Item
The second operand of the -match and -notmatch operators is a regular expression, not an array of file names. Use the -contains operator instead:
... | Where-Object { $result -notcontains $_.Name } | ...
On PowerShell v3 and newer you can also use the -notin operator, which feels a little more "natural" to most people:
... | Where-Object { $_.Name -notin $result } | ...
Note that for this to work you also need to expand the Name property when building $result:
$result = $files | Sort-Object LastAccessTime -Descending |
Select-Object -First 3 -Expand Name

This powershell code searches the directory and outputs a list of all the files and how old they are to a log file that is parsed buy a different script. all that is working correctly but i also need to keep track of the number of files it found for that dir and the number of files found globally. Thats what the two foreach-Object statements do. but they are staying at 0.
gci -filter *.avi | Select-Object Name, #{Name="Age"; Expression= { (((Get-Date) - $_.CreationTime).Days) }} | Where {$_.Age -ge $daysToKeep} | Out-File -filepath $logFile -append | Foreach-Object {$fileCountCam1++} | Foreach-Object {$fileCount++}
mjolinor's solution is valid, but there's another way (if you can use v3). You can use Tee-Object to write to the file without a loop.
You can also combine your two variable increments into the same script block in the final foreach-object which will speed things up significantly.
gci -filter *.avi |
Select-Object Name, #{Name="Age"; Expression= { (((Get-Date) - $_.CreationTime).Days) }} |
Where {$_.Age -ge $daysToKeep} | Tee-Object -filepath $logFile -append |
Foreach-Object {$fileCountCam1++;$fileCount++}
Out-File is a termnating cmdlet (it doesn't ouput the object to the pipeline), so everything after it isn't getting any input from the pipeline.
See if this works better:
gci -filter *.avi |
Select-Object Name, #{Name="Age"; Expression= { (((Get-Date) - $_.CreationTime).Days) }} |
Where {$_.Age -ge $daysToKeep} |
Foreach-Object {
$_ | Out-File -filepath $logFile -append
$fileCountCam1++
$fileCount++
}
