Exporting dataRow to a csv - powershell

Question

I have run a MySQL Query, which has given me a resultset that I can work with.
However, I now need to export it to a CSV file.
If I run
$result1 | export-csv "c:\path\to\csv.csv"
I get a file with a single entry in the first cell only:
#TYPE System.Int32
But there should be apx 6000 rows.
If I do
$result1 | Get-member
I get:
TypeName: System.Int32
Name MemberType Definition

CJ Property System.UInt64 CustomerJobId {get;set;}
End Property System.DateTime Endtime {get;set;}
Name Property System.String Engineer {get;set;}
JN Property System.String Jobname {get;set;}
Start Property System.DateTime Starttime {get;set;}
What's the correct way to convert this to a CSV file?
write-host $result1 gives me data similar to the below:
CJ :
JN :
Name : Mr Smith
Start :
End :
CJ : 987654321
JN :
Name : Mr Jones
Starttime : 29/09/2015 08:00:00
Endtime : 29/09/2015 08:30:00

Answer 1

I have found a way to make this work, by creating a PSObject, and then converting that to CSV.
$a = 0
$data = #()
foreach($res in $result1)
{
if($a -eq 0)
{
#Do Nothing
}
else
{
$cj = $res.CJ
$jn = $res.JN
$en = $res.Name
$st = $res.Start
$et = $res.End
#write-host "$cj,$jn,$en,$st,$et"
$row = New-Object PSObject
$row | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "CJ" -Value $cj -force
$row | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "JN" -Value $jn -force
$row | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Name" -Value $en -force
$row | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Start" -Value $st -force
$row | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "End" -Value $et -force
$data += $row
}
$a++
}
$data | Export-Csv "c:\path\to\csv.csv" -NoTypeInformation
